_________________________________________
The first book in Karin Slaughter's no.1 bestselling GRANT COUNTY series.
She was found in the local diner. Brutally murdered. Ritually mutilated.
And she will not be the last.
The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds a woman dead in the local diner.
She has been cut: two deep knife wounds form a lethal cross over her stomach. But it's only once Sara starts to perform the post-mortem that the full extent of the killer's brutality becomes clear.
Police chief Jeffrey Tolliver - Sara's ex-husband - is in charge of the investigation, and when a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, both Jeffrey and Sara have to face the fact that the murder was not a one-off attack. What they dealing with is a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer. . .

Avid Reader
Compelling story with reasonable pace. Gruesome treatment of the victims but with a name like “Slaughter” that sounds like a reputation to live up to. I enjoy reading Karin’s books.
Unputdownable
Brilliant read as usual
Can’t wait for the next one
Good read
I enjoyed this book well enough but probably wouldn't pay to read another. Having the book set in a small town seemed like a convenient plot device so the authour could avoid a more complex, and resultantly more interesting, storyline with better developed characters.
