Hævntørst
Hævntørst | Karin Slaughter
"Hævntørst” er den første enkeltstående spændingsroman og i bogen møder vi Kate Murphy. Kate Murphy er en uerfaren politikvinde, som prøver at finde sin helt egen plads i Atlanta Politi Distrikt. Det er dog slet ikke en nem opgave at blive respekteret, når man som smuk, ung kvinde bevæger sig ind i et erhverv, hvor machomentaliteten er dominerende. Det bliver desuden ikke nemmere af, at en respekteret betjent er blevet skudt og samtlige betjente står tilbage med en “Hævntørst”, der kan mærkes fra utallige kilometers afstand. Et mesterværk ... Meget mere end en thriller ... Hævntørst er en af de stærkeste og mest bevægende læseoplevelser i nyere tid.” – Kathryn Stockett, forfatteren til Niceville Med sit ubarmhjertige tempo, præcise observationer, underholdende iagttagelser og ofte hjerteskærende situationer er Hævntørst Slaughters til dato stærkeste roman – en tour de force af historiefortælling fra mesteren af troværdige personer, intens atmosfære og fascinerende spænding

In a brutal cop town where cops beat & abuse anyone of ethnicity or female on or off the force, 2 women not only learn to hold their own, but to overcome the abusers. A good read, that moves.

It was so GOOD. The characters, the setting, the action all completely on target. Set in 1974, the plot touches on issues that are still far too relevant today; police corruption, sexism, homophobia, racism. It was an incredibly compelling read with plenty of twists. It‘s Slaughter so there‘s a heavy amount of graphic descriptions, gore and violence.

bookworm92 Just borrowed this from my library. I'm so close to finishing the book I am currently reading and then I'm going to start it 3y

Last book started in 2019 and the first book finished in 2020. It was absolutely excellent!! The only problem now is that I'm completely caught up on Slaughter's backlist, which means I'm now officially at the mercy of how fast she can write new ones 😩

Amazing crime fiction. I couldn‘t put it down. The topics brought up are really moving. Really makes you think about life in the 70s as a minority.

I just finished reading Cop Town and the whole police vibe has got into me, prompting me to start watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
The Commanding Officer in the show talks about the PD in the 1970s and how racist, sexist, and violent it was- exactly the things I read in Slaughter‘s book. The CO from the show would have faced death in the book (by fellow officers) because he was openly gay.
I really liked the book and I‘m loving the show. Pick!

My #currentreads feel #hotandheavy , and I‘m close to bailing on The Milkman. I like the narration, theme... but it feels like a chore. 🤯😓
Coincidentally, both these books are set in the 1970s.
The Milkman-supposedly Northern Ireland
Cop Town- Atlanta

Although I finished the book this one was a pan for me. I was not invested in the characters and I found the language very stilted at times. Overall a "meh."

Yes! I think i‘ll spend the night reading this! I need Litsy therapy. Was at the vegan fair. It was terrible because it was packed with people. Then half of South Korea was at the library. I really dislike most people 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸ I‘m sure I‘ll end up as a hermit somewhere.

Chrissyreadit A vegan Fair sounds like fun, too bad it was overly full. 6y
Tove_Reads @Chrissyreadit Yes, fun there would have been 50% less peeps. For some read cool new products and tasted a ton more. B&J‘s new ice cream is to die for! We have many innovative companies coming up with new products. Don‘t know how fast pulled oats is spreading around the world. 6y
Chrissyreadit Oh!!! I do not know what pulled oats are. I love B&J‘s non dairy ice cream. 6y
Tove_Reads @Chrissyreadit The whole thing started in Finland a few years back, so it‘s a new thing, not known in most countries yet, but it‘s coming! Big chains like McD and Subway nowadays test their new vegan products first on the Finnish market. Taco Bell over here has pulled oats tacos! 6y

Wow! Though I thoroughly detested all the characters and the blatant racism/sexism/bigotry which was too commonplace in ‘74 (& especially so in the South) I think she delved into a couple characters— Kate Murphy in particular— enough to warrant the crass behavior as a way to emphasize the story and the mystery behind The Atlanta Shooter. As always her mastery of gritty writing was as clear as her ability to flesh out real/strong people. 👌ðŸ»

This ended up reminding me of comic series The Kitchen with tough women navigating a gritty, male dominated world of crime and punishment. The 70s -era racism, sexism, and homophobia is hard to read at times but the story is a compelling read all the same. #mommyreads #atl #crime #ebook

Classic Karin Slaughter! She knows how to tell a story. Cop Town is set in the 70's when women were expected to 'stay in their place' and were not taken serious when they signed on to be a police officer in the good ole boy Atlanta PD. Maggie Lawson & Kate Murphy along with the rest of the women of the Atlanta PD are determine to make a change in this corrupt Cop Town, check it out, you won't be disappointed!

My contribution to Friday, Cop Town by Karin Slaughter. She gave a talk at a local library whilst in Australia, she's very funny and so tiny! Cop Town is a stand-alone about female cops in the 70s. The misogyny made me want to scream, very accurate to the time period. Great read, highly reccommended
