Publisher's Summary

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.

Relentlessly suspenseful and furiously paced, The Kept Woman marks Karin Slaughter's triumphant return to her most popular series.

Good book, unfortunately the character Sara grates

Great book and series, explains a lot but I can't stand Sara, her character grates on my nerves. I was going to read the Grant County series but I realized she is the central character, no thanks. The Will Trent Series I really enjoyed, Will is a great main character and the supporting cast (other than Sara) are colorful and interesting.

Good Book

I like the narration in this book. The story was ok. Not my favorite Audible book, but not the worst either. I find that I keep returning to this author.

Pretty good!

Enjoyed this great performance from Kathleen Early. A mystery with a good dose of humour. No edge of your seat thrills, but a fun read nonetheless.
