نقد و بررسی
A young woman is murdered in a small Southern town while the former town doctor is visiting. Reluctantly, she agrees to examine the body and gets sucked into the investigation. The most fascinating aspect of this novel is the complexity of its characters. There's good in the worst and a touch of the devil in the best. Reader Natalie Ross is challenged by the need to differentiate six female characters. She succeeds--each is distinctive, and there's no one-size-fits-all Southern accent here. The shifts from female to male characters are seamless. While there's never a point where the listener is confused about who is speaking in dialogue, the sheer number of characters makes this novel a bit hard to follow. M.S.

Starred review from May 24, 2010
Slaughter brings her Grant County and Atlanta characters together for a second time (after Undone) in this superb thriller. When Dr. Sara Linton returns home to Grant County, Ga., for Thanksgiving, she hopes to steer clear of the police, especially Det. Lena Adams, whom she blames for the murder of her husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver. Yet when college student Allison Spooner is found dead in a lake and a local boy, Tommy Braham, is arrested for the murder, Sara reluctantly agrees to consult. The investigation soon spirals out of control after Tommy dies in custody. When Sara calls in Georgia Bureau of Investigation special agent Will Trent from Atlanta to take over the case, the local police greet Will's arrival with suspicion. Will must weigh Sara's personal vendetta against Detective Adams with the facts of the case, which grow more confusing the deeper he digs into the small county's secrets. Slaughter keeps the emotional tension high throughout.
