This is the 6th and final book in the Grant County series. Although it reads like it could have another to the series and somehow I wished that there was another. I tired to prepare myself for this one since I was spoiled by reading the Will Trent series first, but I never quite got prepared enough.SynopsisSara 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 whenGod damn it. I want to punch Karin Slaughter in the face right now. Seriously, I do! This book is the finale book in the Grant County Series. Holy Crap! I guess this series had to end one way or another.Lena, once again, is up to her eyeballs in trouble. Her bad decision making and self destructing ways lead her down a path that in turns leads Jeffery and Sara down the same path.Lena has been arrested for Murder and needs help. Sara is up to her eyeballs in stress as she is being sued by a
What can you say about Karin Slaughter- If you like the thriller, slasher, kill em, slice them up , dice them up and all that other good stuff- this lady can pretty much do it all. Having said that - as far as this series is concerned "Grant County" it just didn't do it for me like so many of the goodreads people. First you have Lena- I know so many really hate her. I don't 'hate' her at all. I pity her more than anything. Having the childhood she had , and my goodness let us not forget what she
Let's just say if I had been heavily invested in these books and these characters, this author would probably have lost a fan for life. (view spoiler)[That ending was fairly brutal. (hide spoiler)] He was smiling again, that half-smile that could infuriate her and make her love him at the same time. Ah, well, back to Will Trent and to see how that all pans out.
WOW! I feel like I have been hit by a freight train - that's how fast paced this book was. But it was good - really good.Lena has a disposition which, more often than not, lands her in trouble. But never before like this.....Slaughter must be one of the best ever writers. I even love her acknowledgements - 'Sue Kurylowicz was the winner of the 'Get Slaughtered' contest, granting her the dubious honour of having her name appear in this book. Sue, honey, you DID ask to be bad....' and It's not
I should also add that this book is called SKIN PRIVILEGE in the UK and other territories. My US publisher felt that Beyond Reach would be a better title, so we went with that here. Same book, same story, same words except for that color/colour thing.
Great writing by Slaughter as always... but man, the ending!! I was literally heartbroken!! I cannot believe Karin Slaughter did that!!! I highly recommend first time readers of this series (Grant County) to start from the beginning because you gotta understand the complexity of these characters. There's just so much to Lena Adams, Sara Linton, and Jeffrey Tolliver that you can't really get from just reading this book. A must-read for suspense-thriller fans!! The ending... still gets to me!
