Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember. But when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton - the town's paediatrician and medical examiner - finds herself entangled in a horrific tragedy. What seemed at first to be a terrible but individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications. The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse, of ritualistic self-mutilation, but when Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, they are frustrated at every turn. The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. But when a young girl is abducted, it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. And unless Sara and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again...
Ok, so I finished the 2nd book in the Grant County Series by Karin Slaughter called “Kisscut.” Another absolutely awesome read. Yet another “can’t put it down” book. And believe me, I’m almost finished with book 3 and it’s the same way.
When a teenager is killed in the local skating rink parking lot, pediatrician and part-time medical examiner Sara Linton makes some horrifying discoveries during the autopsy. There are things that just don’t add up and it’s up to Sara, Jeffrey, and Lena to figure them out. What they find will horrify you, but you just won’t be able to put that book down. You’ll have to find out what happens next.
This book takes twists and turns and keeps you guessing the entire time you’re reading it. Believe me when I say that you will most definitely be begging for more, and will go looking for the next book in the series as soon as you finish “Kisscut.”
Another 5 star book from Karin Slaughter, this is my final book in the 28 in 20008 challenge and book 2 in the R.I.P. Challenge.
