From Atlanta's wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too.

Atlanta, 1974: It's Kate Murphy's first day on the job, and the Atlanta Police Department is seething after the murder of an officer. Before the day has barely begun, she already suspects she's not cut out to be a cop.

Story
Each of us has a question we dread. When the simple community of Lakehaven is shaken by a violent crime, doubts begin to arise among the locals about whom they can trust.
Written by: Jeff Abbott
Publisher's Summary
A small Georgia town erupts in panic when a young college professor is found brutally mutilated in the local diner. But it's only when town pediatrician and coroner Sara Linton does the autopsy that the full extent of the killer's twisted work becomes clear.
Sara's ex-husband, Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver, leads the investigation - a trail of terror that grows increasingly macabre when another local woman is found crucified a few days later. But he's got more than a sadistic serial killer on his hands, for the county's sole female detective, Lena Adams - the first victim's sister - wants to serve her own justice.
But it is Sara who holds the key to finding the killer. A secret from her past could unmask the brilliantly malevolent psychopath...or mean her death.

woah.. wtf
This story was more horrific than anything I could've imagined. Seriously should've had a trigger warning about the graphic description of unbelievable sexual violence.
I did listen to the whole story with disgusted fascination and I was on the edge of my seat.
I HATED the narrator. She made me cringe with her over pronunciation. She sounded like that awful Family Guy cool whip bit the whole story. 'hwhite' 'hwhiskey' .... it drove me nuts. And when she would say vehicle like 'Vee Hickle ' I almost threw my phone.
Also, that female detective was such a cow.

Save your credit
I haven't read a tonne of Karin Slaughter, but I have read a few. I must say that how she treats female victims is absolutely horrendous. The things she does to women are things I would never imagine in a thousand years. She is certainly no-holds-barred when it comes to the mistreatment of women.
The narrator is horrible. She's fine when speaking in conversation but when simply reading the story, she sounds like a bloody robot. Plus she pronounces the "h" in wheel, why, where, which etc. Didn't realize how much that drives me bananas.
The story itself isn't that great. There is rape and murder ... investigation ensues led by a lady cop that deserves a punch in the face.
Also, as others have said, you figure out who the perpetrator is long before they are revealed.
Save yourself the credit and 10 hours of your life and pass on this book.

Perfect title for this book!
As with all Karin Slaughter novels, they're never predictable. Not even if you read them out of order, which I have unfortunately done but I cannot complain. It was completely my fault. That being said, it really did not ruin this book for me at all. It tells its own story. It is a bit raunchy too. What makes a psychopath a psychopath? It is a talent that Karen Slaughter is able to write about and is very good at. Crazy, crazy stuff went on in this book. Great read!!

It’s not bad, just a little too predictable
I thought the book was entertaining enough, but found out pretty quickly it wasn’t really going to leave you in anticipation, wondering who could be the one behind the crimes. It was pretty obvious fairly early in the book. I guess I just prefer there to be a little more mystery, but the narrator was great and it kept me interested till the end.

Good story, interesting characters
The first book in the Grant County series and Karin Slaughter has made me want to listen to the next. Her main characters are interesting though I feel like I only really got to know the female lead, the male lead is not really fully fleshed out. The narrator is wonderful and though she has a very feminine voice, she adds depth and cadence to her voice and you feel you are getting the full range of characters. I guessed the murderer early on, but did have a change of opinion a couple of times, until he was revealed. I also like that the author writes her villains as real people and not someone who can be shot 5 times and still come back to do damage to the hero/heroine.

Not my favourite Karin Slaughter novel
I have read many Karin Slaughter books, and this was not my favourite. Some slight spoilers ahead.
It was brutal and the depiction of rape as pleasurable was insulting. I also knew who had done it right away.
This was my first read of her grant county series, and although I didn’t enjoy this one, I may give it another go, as I do like some of her most recent work.

Start here first...
I absolutely love Karin Slaughter novels. I started off with The Good Daughter and was hooked. I followed TGD with Pretty Girls, then Triptych, book 1 of Will Trent series, and then the entire Will Trent series , unabridged, in order (I only skipped Snatched, Book 6.5 and Busted. Book 6.5 because they are only 2-3 hours and I like to get the most value out of my credits. Once I completed the Will Trent series, (Wishing there will be more to come), I was hesitant to start the Grant County series. I thought it would be a prequel of WTS, and snd because I love WT, i felt GC would not stand up...
Keeping that in mind, I decided on Copland and loved it. Finally decided to check out Grant County... I liked it, but, my recommendation is if you’re just discovering Karin Slaughter and decide to jump into a series, Go with Grant County first!
Blindsighted Is good and if this type of mystery thriller with edgy darkness is something you like, then stick with it, because each book gets better.. She’s a wonderful storyteller - with the Will Trent series, there is no formula to her writing. Each book in the WTS is an excellent well written, engaging story.

Sadly, a bit of a letdown
What did you like best about Blindsighted? What did you like least?
I thought the plot was a little cookie cutter, shallow and lacked anything that really made it stand out as unique.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
felt very Nora Roberts, I love her stuff but it is predictable, and follows a very specific formula.
Any additional comments?
I chose this one after reading Pretty Girls by the same author, which was an amazing book. I think this being one of the author's early works is just not quite up to par with where her later works are. I may continue with this series based on how good Pretty Girls was, but this book fell flat for me. The narrator was awesome, she is really enjoyable.

Great story- raw and amazing characters
What three words best describe Kathleen Early’s performance?
Crisp, good tempo
Any additional comments?
I started with Copland... Hated it and loved it simultaneously! The sexism and racism was weaved through the story in Ms. Slaughter's way, gave a glimpse of the past in a grisly reality. Read it twice before starting the rest of her books. This one did not disappoint!
One thing to note, chapter 15 is a repeat of the previous chapter. A sound edit mistake. Not a huge deal... Just needs a tweak. Otherwise it was perfect for me.

Gory But Good
I am a new reader to Ms. Slaughter. My sister mentioned I may like this series and she was right, I am really liking it. Although I think it is a series that begs to be read in order, there is so much going on with the characters, their families and their lives together, I think you would miss something by reading them out of order. I'm glad they are all still available.
With that said, I also want to point out that so far, the books I have read, are very graphic, so if you only like cozies, stay away.
I gave it a four for only one reason, I had the bad guy figured out right away, I mean I just knew from the first time the character was introduced. I still enjoyed the story very much, so I didn't let that stop me from listening, but I thought well this is a little too easy to figure out. It won't stop me from the next book.
So for anyone out their looking for a series to pick up they may have not read yet, I highly recommend this author. Oh and I understand she has another series with different characters, but I have not gotten to them yet. Just a matter of time!!

Wonderful thriller!
Blindsighted, released in 2001, was Karin Slaughter's first novel. The novel introduces podiatrist and sometimes coroner Sara Linton who appears as protagonist not only in the Grant County series but in most of the books in the Will Trent series. It also introduces Sheriff Jeffrey Tolliver who is both Sara's ex-husband and future husband. I am completing getting audiobook versions of all of Karin Slaughter's novels. She is one of my favorite authors.
Blindsighted was a blockbuster award winner that introduced Karin Slaughter to the world in 2001. It is just as good today.
Kathleen Early has narrated approximately half of Karin Slaughter's unabridged audiobooks. Her narrations are consistently excellent.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Actually, that's true of all of her novels.

Expected Better
For me this book was a mixed bag. I picked it up because I'd seen Gillian Flynn's comment on the front. Right away I thought "this must have been one of her earliest books. Flynn can't be talking about this book." Sure enough, this is the author's debut novel. I assume her work has improved with later books.
The main character didn't seem smart enough to be a doctor. Her lack of common sense and her pettiness with her ex were a turn off, and the way her back story was presented came off disjointed and random. I guess some of the extraneous info was to set up a series, but it felt out of place. The last 20% of the book did redeem itself for me enough to give it 3 stars. The author clearly has a head for crime writing, and I am not sure if I will read more of her books or not.
The narrator occasionally slipped into an annoying sing-songy cadence that I disliked, but her voices were well done. Overall, I'd probably recommend trying a book written later by this author as her skills must have improved over this debut novel.

Another Gripping Grant County Mystery
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely if they were into well written mysteries. Although there are some rather gruesome elements to the story that aren't for the sensitive. The writing is clean, crisp and the characters move the story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I wanted to.
Any additional comments?
Excellent narration by Kathleen Early. I've given up trying to figure out the correct order to these books. I'm just really happy when I come across one I haven't read or listened to before.

Gruesome mystery.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it's my first Karen Slaughter book and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a perfect mix of gruesome and mysterious.

Kathleen Early...wHy???
The book is fine. Predictable, but exactly what you're looking for when you choose this type of book. Nothing impressive or illuminating, rather it's entertaining. And I think Kathleen Early is a very good reader, BUT... She has to stop pronouncing the 'h' in 'wh' words: wheel, why, whisper, etc. I know it's a small thing and it's technically correct, but it's old fashioned and overly formal. And it's SO distracting. It's all I can hear. It's so annoying that I might have to stop listening to this reader.

Perfect!!!
The book was excellent and the narration brought it life! The characters are realistic and relatable and very, very human. I like that although Jeffrey and Sara had so many misunderstandings between them that they have a start to understanding each other and finding their way back inspite of past mistakes.
I really enjoyed the villain, the way the author did not shy away from the grisly descriptions. If you like chick lit with lots of sex and no real content, pass on this book!
