    <![CDATA[From Atlanta&#8217;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. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread&#8212;and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career.   And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael&#8217;s lover before she became his enemy.  But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer&#8217;s trail in the most coincidental of ways&#8212;and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open.<br/><br/>In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the bestselling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman.  Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, <strong>Triptych</strong> ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I was really excitied to read this book. Triptych has Karin Slaughter moving away from her popular Grant County Series. I have very mixed feelings about this book. I thought the story was interesting. It had some unexpected twists and turns. The characters were very different and unique.

    <![CDATA[From Atlanta&#8217;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. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread&#8212;and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career.   And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael&#8217;s lover before she became his enemy.  But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer&#8217;s trail in the most coincidental of ways&#8212;and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open.<br/><br/>In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the bestselling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman.  Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, <strong>Triptych</strong> ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I was excited when I saw this book I'd just read listed here, but when I started to write this review I realized I couldn't even remember what it was about! So that tells me it wasn't that great. I read the synopsis and remember it now. The story-telling was good. The character development was good....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58702519">more...</a>]]></body>
