Kisscut (Grant County) by Karin Slaughter (2003) (  )  EroticHorizon | Jan 4, 2010 |  Kisscut (Grant County) by Karin Slaughter (2003) ( ) EroticHorizon | Jan 4, 2010 | Soon after the chief of police, Jeffrey Tolliver, arrives at the local roller skating rink to meet his ex-wife Sara Linton, he discovers some teenagers in a dispute. It seems relatively harmless until he sees a gun in the girl's hand and it's pointing at the boy who's standing only several yards away. This was just as graphic and brutal as the first one, except the subject matter in this one was more disturbing and offensive. The characters were all working through their own personal garbage, so it was a bit on the gloomy side, too. And, the language was very vulgar. Sounds like a great book, huh? Believe it or not, I like the characters - even the ones with rough edges. I think they are what keep me interested in the series. Kisscut is the second in the Grant Count Series. (4/5) Originally posted on: Thoughts of Joy (  ) ThoughtsofJoyLibrary | Sep 7, 2009 | A mediocre McNab book. There is nothing fresh in his novels now and they all seem to be the same, very much written on a formula. Suffice to say that the cover of the book tells us ".. by the author of 'Bravo Two Zero' ". Yes, that was in 1993, but McNab is still cashing in on a 15 year old adventure. Let's have something new now. peeteepee | Sep 6, 2009 | I enjoyed Kisscut and the book before it, Blindsighted and would recommend them both with some reservations. They are both well-plotted with believable characters and lots of suspense-filled twists and turns. The characters are complex, flawed and, therefore, more interesting. My reservations revolve around the amount of violence and graphic description of violence. It does not dominate the book and is nowhere near the worst I have read, but I think it is enough to warn prospective readers ahead of time. ( ) wcath | Aug 28, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
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 Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:46:32 -0500) The first test round has been closed.
