Welcome to Litsy!

This is my favourite book in the whole series, not before or since (I'm up to book 11) did any of the books entice me like this one.

It's not just that we learn the why behind Will and Amanda. It's the whole book. Everything from the compelling plot, the dual time lines, the characters, the writing, the style, and the pacing. Everything is just right.

I‘m such a huge fan of Karin Slaughter. I think I‘ve rated every book of hers with five stars. Criminal is the sixth installment in the Will Trent series and it‘s DEEP! This novel tells the tale of Will Trent‘s birth and parentage in a way I never expected. This is a fascinating book!

Not bad on audible. Well paced.

Next audible and a photo of the yurt I stayed in.

My January reads - obsessed with The Grant County and Will Trent series!

Bk12 of July & Bk4 of #JubilantJuly #readathon is done. The 6th Will Trent book was heartbreaking. Set in both 1974-5 & the present, it‘s both a story of Amanda & Evelyn‘s start as cops(and her old gal network!)& it‘s the story of how Will came to be. Of his mothers awful death & why Amanda knows so much about him. One of my favourites. #BookspinBingo #SeriesLove2023

Sometimes just a simple shower can make you feel a bit better. Plus it makes me nicer to live with! About halfway through Bk4 of my #JubilantJuly #readathon Yes I went with another reread instead of my ridiculous #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom Can books stare at you reproachfully?👀🫣

Whew! So much trauma and drama for poor Will.

6th in the Will Trent series

When a local college student goes missing, Will is inexplicably kept off the case by his supervisor and mentor, deputy director Amanda Wagner. Will cannot fathom Amanda's motivation until the two of them literally collide in an abandoned orphanage they have both been drawn to for different reasons.

In this book Slaughter goes back in the past to clear up some loose story lines that were brought up in the previous book.

I didn't think I would like this one at first, but it ended up being one of my favorites. Criminal addresses a lot of issues female cops and detectives face in the workplace. As usual this one had graphic crimes with good twists to the outcome.

Slaughter is a master of this genre.
