Will Trent 1 Triptych by Karen Slaughter

Will Trent 1 Triptych by Karen Slaughter

I read this book because I was enjoying the Will Trent television series. The book started out with a bang, pulling me right in to the plot. The crime is morbidly fascinating and the cop with his special needs son was sympathetic. Will Trent finally made his appearance and I loved every moment of it. Then we moved to Part 2 and I quickly lost interest. I understood what Slaughter was doing, but I just didn’t like stepping out of the investigation to follow John through the twists and turns of his life. Things got better when Part 3 began, but never pulled me all the way back in as Part 1 had done.

 

Unfortunately, this sort of disappointing experience is quite common when moving between books and movies and/or television adaptations. Usually, my disappointment comes when moving in the other direction. I’m going to assume that this series gets a lot better, but frankly I am not inspired to go on and read the next novel in the series.
