I do enjoy Karin Slaughter. I can usually figure it out if I pay enough attention. Slaughter is a great story teller.

This was confusing at first. Lots of characters right out the gate, who overlap between timelines. But once I got into it, it was pretty good. I didn't realize that it was a sequel of sorts to Pieces of Her until after I read it though. A low pick.

This is not a good book. The premise is ridiculous and the characters inconsistent. I almost bailed on it, but I didn't have any other audiobooks lined up and was curious how the story would resolve (answer: very, very slowly). I suspect that I am not a Karin Slaughter fan.

SamAnne I have tried to her during #Scarathalon team reads and she just isn‘t my thing. 7mo
ImperfectCJ @Hooked_on_books @SamAnne I'm going to try the first in her Will Trent series, just to give her a fair chance. Lots of people say they like that series. But if I don't like that one, I think I can safely set this author in the "not for me" column. 7mo
SamAnne @ImperfectCJ LOL this whole time I thought that series was by Louise Penney. But that‘s the whatever Pines. Won‘t pick up another Slaughter book but might watch the series. 7mo

I enjoyed Pieces of Her and this follow-up didn‘t disappoint! Andrea Oliver is now a US Marshall and her first assignment is to protect a federal judge who is receiving death threats. She‘s just fine with this, as her new location happens to be the site of the unsolved murder of a 17 year-old-girl back in 1982…and the victim may have a connection to Andrea‘s psychopath father.

This was a compulsive read, loaded with suspense and tension, that had me gripped from beginning to end, as Karin Slaughters books are known to do. There is enough back story that it could be read as a stand alone but I think you will get so much more from it if you read Pieces of her first. ⭐⭐⭐

I read this over two days, it was quite compelling. A recently graduated U S Marshall is assigned to protect a judge, who has been receiving death threats. Forty years before the judge‘s pregnant 17 year old daughter was maliciously attacked and left for dead. She eventually succumbs to her injuries, and dies after giving birth. Who is sending the death threats, who killed the daughter and why is what the book is about.

Slaughter crafts baddies you love to hate. They have no redeeming qualities, but are written with enough depth to keep your interest. Although I hate “girl” titles, I enjoyed this thriller. New US Marshal Andrea Oliver has been assigned to protect a judge in Longbill Beach. The location suits: she really wants to investigate the 1980‘s murder of a teenager that may be linked to Andrea‘s psychopathic father. Told in alternating time lines.

11-25-22: My 117th finished book of 2022! The sequel to Pieces of Her. In present day, Andrea has just graduated from US Marshal academy.

In a crazy turn of events, the case involves Andrea‘s deranged father. Traveling back and forth in time, we root for Andrea to solve everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣1️⃣1️⃣7️⃣

Written as a prequel to Pieces of Her, this book had promise but the story had a different feel than the previous one in the series. Perhaps I just judged it too much though in comparison to Slaughter's other series.

It's fast-paced, full of twists and graphic crimes, but some of the plot twists were too far fetched for me.

Still a good dark crime novel, just not my favorite by this author.

As prequel-ish sequel this had a YA vibe that was quite different than the original. Once I settled into the story, I found it interesting. It‘s a wherever-the-facts-may-lead-us type of story!

I picked this up on a whim during a quick dash to the Library. I didn‘t realise it was the 2nd in a series but it didn‘t matter. Kept me enthralled and I kept wanting to get back to it. Then at around page 300 there was a plot development that was central to everything and was really weak and completely implausible. Left me really disappointed. I also find her books quite brutal and violent. Lots of callous characters. But I keep reading them!

Phew! I found a new author to devour! I can‘t believe I haven‘t dived into her works before!!! Twisty, turny, dark and creepy! this is #2 in a series but worked as a stand-alone to me going in cold. Going to look up more from her now…

5feet.of.fury I love Karin Slaughter. I‘ve read them all except False Witness, which I have been saving for if I get in a reading slump. 2y
swishandflick She's my favorite author and this isn't even her best!! If you loved this you're in for a treat. I recommend starting with her Grant County series first, because there's crossover with the Will Trent series later (which is one of my favorite crime series EVER) 👏🏽 (edited) 2y

🎧 There‘s a chapter early on at a doctor‘s office that I found infuriating but I kept reading.

It was a good twisty mystery/thriller.

I enjoyed the twists & turns. The story bounces between the mystery in the past and newly graduated US Marshal Andrea guarding a judge who‘s been getting death threats.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

I was so mad when I found out this book was a sequel to Pieces of Her. So mad.

Obviously I was going to read it anyway. And I‘m glad that was a forgone conclusion because I really enjoyed it. The plot lines, twists, mixed with the MCs inner turmoil, gory, intriguing… nobody does it better.

I was pretty annoyed by the dumbed down “Millennial perspective” in PoH but I found less of it here. A good balance was struck. Excited to see what‘s next.

I can see why this has gotten mixed reviews. But Slaughter has set her own bar so high, particularly with her Will Trent series. And while I readily admit that this isn't her best, she's still such a superior writer to the average crime fiction content, I still can't give this anything but a pick. I was surprised that she did a sequel to Pieces of Her (and wish it had been more obvious that this isn't a standalone) but was still hooked! 4⭐️ #BOTM

5feet.of.fury Agree on all points. Ultimately I liked it, too. 2y

Added *2* Karin Slaughter books to my collection this week. My BF randomly bought me a signed copy of the UK edition of The Last Widow, and it‘s pub day for Girl, Forgotten which I feel like everyone has already read, between the UK release day being so much earlier & BOTM.

Anyway, I‘m gonna go meet her on Friday, what book should I get signed?

This was a disappointment. From plot holes to lack of simple research (bennies are uppers not downers, etc), it seemed she wrote this sequel to Pieces of Her in a rush. She gets a so-so instead of a pan because I like Andrea as a character, but if the next book is this weak, I won‘t continue.

Andrea is a newly minted US Marshall. She gets assigned to watch a judge receiving death threats and gets drawn into the mystery of her daughter‘s murder.

Technically it's 6 books, but when I realized I only had the abridged version of Jane Eyre I decided to get the audio book and listen to the full version as well.

For this month I can't pick a favourite 🤷🏼‍♀️
I loved both of Slaughter's books and I was really surprised at how much I loved Jane Eyre.

As for The Way of the Kings: I feel I can't just rate part1, I'll get back to rating it once I'm done with Part2; but so far😍

Bk12 of June & #BigJuneReadathon is done. And what a book! I didn‘t realise at first it was a sequel to Pieces Of Her which, though not without brilliance, was not Slaughters best book. But I think with this she has another world burning cast of characters that are just as brilliant & devious & tortured as her Grant County & Will Trent series. Am totally looking forward to the next Sarah & Will but now also holding on for the next Andrea Oliver!👇
