About this listen

WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC!

New York Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter brings back Will Trent and Sara Linton in this superb and timely thriller full of devious twists, disturbing secrets, and shocking surprises you won’t see coming.

A mysterious kidnapping

On a hot summer night, a scientist from the Centers for Disease Control is grabbed by unknown assailants in a shopping center parking lot. Vanished into thin air, the authorities are desperate to save the doctor.

A devastating explosion

One month later, the serenity of a sunny Sunday afternoon is shattered by the boom of a ground-shaking blast—followed by another seconds later. One of Atlanta’s busiest and most important neighborhoods —the location of Emory University, two major hospitals, the FBI headquarters, and the CDC—has been bombed.

A diabolical enemy

Medical examiner Sara Linton and her partner Will Trent, an investigator with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, rush to the scene—and into the heart of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to destroy thousands of innocent lives. When the assailants abduct Sara, Will goes undercover to save her and prevent a massacre—putting his own life on the line for the woman and the country he loves.

Lots of twists. A very detailed book I felt like I was there watching everything happening in front of me.

Very good.

Overall I am happy I have read this. This was my first Karin Slaughter novel - though I know she has a whole series starring the protagonists. I felt as though it was easy enough to pick up as a stand-alone.

I definitely grew attached to these characters and wanted to follow their stories. I wasn’t as fond of the viewpoint of Faith and found it was just there to give us information. Her story-line was a little boring but I suppose served its purpose.

I have listened to Kathleen Early before and now don’t know how I will move onto another narrator. Her voice is comforting, easy to listen to with just the right touch of theatrics.

Good story, great performance

What an exceptional writer of police crime fiction! The characters are so well drawn they seem real. I love the emotional rollercoaster Karen Slaughter takes us on. And the narrator is truly one of the best, bringing a modern and authentic feel to the story.
