Loading... Kisscut (2002)by Karin Slaughter
None. I liked the book even though I think it was a bit dragged out in some areas. A bit too much back story from the previous book about the characters. The ending was a little bit of a disappointment too. I prefer solid endings, with nothing left hanging. Lots of profanity too. Glad it wasn't an audiobook since I can skim over them when I physically read a book. (  ) Barb_H | Apr 4, 2013 |  From a RABCK-box that CC sent to me 'just because'. I'm very happy with this book and look forward to read it! BoekenTrol71 | Mar 31, 2013 | Don't get me wrong, I love a meandering tale as much as the next person. I'm more than willing to sit back and let a story lap over me like a wave on a Cape Cod beach. I also like a good undertow, a good riptide that jerks your body when you've become far too complacent with the slow glide of warm water. This book was all warm water, no undertow. I expected at any moment to get snatched into a world that would defy my imagination, but it just didn't happen. Much is made of primitive cultures and the specter of female genital mutilation (circumcision). Given our society's penchant for male genital mutilation at birth, I found the cultural bias offensive. (  ) Sylvie.Fox | Jan 9, 2013 | This might be my favorite novel by her to date. So much action and drama you can hardly stand it. Kisscut really attaches you to the characters introduced in Blindsighted and has such a great story line that will really make you think! (  ) ceh0017 | Nov 25, 2011 | A young girl gets shot by a police officer while threatening a boy with a gun. What was her motive and why was she talking about pureness. During the investigation Jeffrey, Sara and Lena find some shocking details about the girls life. Lena is still fighting her own demons which takes a lot of energy from her. Will all be able to get trough this investigation, where more and more horrific things are being uncovered. Karin Slaughter is an excellent author able to really draw you into her stories. Sometimes you wish she wasn't. The story starts innocent at a skate rank but with speed pulls you in a dark world where the line between being a teenager or an adult get lost. It is very confronting. You cannot get trough this book without a stomach turn at some point. I would not recommend this book to the faint hearted.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060534044, Mass Market Paperback)When police chief Jeffrey Tolliver responds to a disturbance at a local skating rink, the last thing he expects is to have to shoot a 13-year-old girl who's holding a gun on a fellow student. Then Jenny Deaver's autopsy reveals two stunning facts: she did not bear the murdered newborn discovered in the rink's restroom, and she had recently been genitally mutilated. With his ex-wife, pediatrician Sara Linton, Jeffrey uncovers a child sex and pornography ring involving Jenny, her classmates, and their mothers--a horrific enterprise that culminated in the killing that Tolliver will never be able to forget. This taut, chilling thriller showcases Karin Slaughter's skill at plotting, pace, and narrative, and will linger in the reader's mind long after the stunning denouement. This is a terrific sequel to her debut, Blindsighted, with two protagonists whose complex relationship will no doubt be a featured subplot in her next offering. --Jane Adams(retrieved from Amazon Sat, 05 Jan 2013 08:02:05 -0500) Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember. But when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton - the town's paediatrician and medical examiner - finds herself entangled in a horrific tragedy. What seemed at first to be a terrible but individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications. The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse, of ritualistic self-mutilation, but when Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, they are frustrated at every turn. The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. But when a young girl is abducted, it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. And unless Sara and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again...… (more) |
