Enjoyed the story- a lot of language though. it was easy to visualize the characters since I had watched the TV show, Will Trent. It followed along pretty well. ( ) The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter When a body is found and ties to an ex-cop are discvoered Will and Faith are on the case. Hitting cloe to home for Will, it becomes a race against the clock to save a life. Intense, thought-provoking, edge of your seat moments, and secrets revealed. I was hooked from the first page. Karin Slaughter knows how to grab you (tight) and pull you in. With complex true to life characters, well thought out plot, and non stop suspense. The Kept Woman is must read for crime/thriller suspense lovers. I think i am in love with Will Trent, this series of books are only topped by the Chelsea Cain Archie and Gretchen series. Both leave you wanting more, They grip you from start to finish but I'm sad to say its not my favourite to date. Even though you could pick this book up and start as a new Karin Slaughter there is a definitive order to the series and each book makes references to previous events in the other books. For fans of Chelsea Cain and Mo Hayder these are a must read. Hope you enjoy them as much as i have :-) "With the discovery of a murder at an abandoned construction site, Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is brought in on a case that becomes much more dangerous when the dead man is identified as an ex-cop." The world of Will Trent is skillfully created by Ms. Slaughter and each character is carefully connected to the other characters. Make no mistake! Each sentence means something. Each scene means something. The breadcrumbs are scattered around for the reader to discover . . . or not. Just when I thought I couldn't dislike the character of Angie any more, she tops her worst behavior by a mile. Genius storytelling. She's back - Will's wife, that is, and here we get to know her better and she proves to be the wife from hell. It's a bit hard to believe she was a cop, as she seems to belong in jail rather than putting people there. She's definitely out of control in this book; she knows it, but it doesn't seem to help. Her hatred for Will's girlfriend really shines, but she can't help herself, and doesn't seem to care who she hurts. Of course, the feeling is mutual. But all her grand plans go bad, people die or get hurt, and everything becomes a confusing mess. There has to be another book to tie up some of the loose ends left in this one. I hope it comes out soon. no reviews | add a review

It's the most dangerous case of Will Trent's career. He knows this from the moment he sets foot in the abandoned Atlanta warehouse where a body lies on the floor--the body of an ex-cop. Bloody footprints leading away from the scene reveal that another victim, evidently a woman, was carried away ... and has vanished into thin air. And, worst of all, the warehouse belongs to the city's biggest and most high-profile athlete--a local hero protected by the world's most expensive lawyers. A hero married to Will's ex-wife. A hero whom Will's superiors at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have spent the last six months investigating for rape.But for Will--and also for Sara Linton, the GBI's newest medical examiner--the case is about to get even worse. Because an unexpected discovery at the scene reveals a personal link to Will's troubled past ... and the consequences will wreak havoc on his life and the lives of those he loves, those he works with, and those he pursues.
