  <default_description>With over seven million copies of her books sold in twenty-two countries, #1 internationally bestselling author Karin Slaughter delivers &quot;crime fiction at its finest.&quot; Now she returns to Grant county, Georgia where the lightning-fast plot, vivid forensic detail, and heart-stopping suspense will thrust readers into the darkest corners of their own imaginations - and push Slaughter to the top of the national bestseller lists.

Sara Linton - resident medical examiner/pediatrician in Grant County, Georgia - has plenty of hardship to deal with, including defending herself in a heartbreaking malpractice suit.  So when her husband, Police chief Jeffery Tolliver, learns that his friend and coworker detective Lena Adams has been arrested for murder and needs Sara's help, she is not sure she can handle the pressure of it all.  But soon Sara an Jeffery are sitting through evidence, peeling back the layers of a mystery that grows darker by the day - until an intricate web of betrayal and vengeance begins to unravel.  And suddenly the lives of Sara, Lena, and Jeffery are hanging by the slenderest of threads.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book answered a LOT of questions that I had through the series. It also brought to light a lot of facts that were previously unknown. My only beef?? I HATED the ending! I wanted to scream, cry, rant, and rave when I read the ending! I'd gotten a spoiler (which I will not give here) as to what h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71460581">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was aware before starting this book how much it angered some fans. I tried not to read any spoilers so I could judge for myself but I had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen. <br/><br/>I must say that for me this book is right up there among the best books I’ve read this year.

The book opens with her being submitted to a deposition in a malpractice case which, while offering a valid insight into what’s wrong with health care in many countries these days, has nothing much to do with anything else....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32753908">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am probably in the minority but I didn't find this book nearly as good as Karin Slaughter's earlier work. I found it dragged and contained way too much character introspection without enough action.<br/><br/>While Karin Slaughter is an excellent writer, this book simply did not hold my attention...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61290215">more...</a>]]></body>
