Description
The third book in Karin Slaughter’s acclaimed Grant County Series.
“[A] page-turner . . . Slaughter’s plot has more twists than a Slinky factory and the characters’ relationships are sharply drawn.”
—People, starred review
“Scary, shocking and perfectly suspenseful.”
—BookPage
Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, GA, is called out to an apparent suicide on the local college campus. The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues—and the college authorities are eager to avoid a scandal—but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don’t add up.
Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home. And as Jeffrey pursues the sadistic killer, he discovers that ex-police detective Lena Adams, now a security guard on campus, may be in possession of crucial information. But, bruised and angered by her expulsion from the force, Lena seems to be barely capable of protecting herself, let alone saving the next victim.

5By Victoria6983Amazing!! I am hooked on this series!!! I love the characters, the suspense, the detail, everything!!!Great
5By FlomatonCaptivatingCrime writer should know difference between rifle & shotgun
3By RVAgrlI have read a number of Slaughter’s novels, including some of the the Grant County series, and overall, I think they’re entertaining reads. I will admit that I have not yet finished this book and therefore can’t give a full review, but I am so annoyed, I’m not sure I can continue reading. A death takes place, the result of a 12-gauge pump action weapon, which anyone with any knowledge about guns knows is a shotgun (I am a 46 year old mother of two, not a gun expert). However, it is repeatedly called a rifle, and the ammunition it uses is referred to as a bullet. A shotgun uses shells, not bullets. This is such basic information, I feel slaughter has lost all credibility in my eyes.A Faint Cold Fear
