“Criminal”
by Karin Slaughter
Amanda Wagner with the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation supervises Will Trent, but there are deeper ties there that
Amanda does her best to keep secret.
Slaughter pens the thriller throwing us
knee-deep into a situation that has its own connections to a case thirty years
old, one that rocked the female entrance into the man’s workplace.
While Will battles demons of his past and tries
to break free of his wife Angie, Sara—Will’s newest girlfriend—fights with
herself over whether or not Will is worth the agony of heartbreak should Will
leave her to go back to Angie.
Amanda brings the reader from the beginning, how
the case that made her career was affecting the same now. And how Will is involved from the beginning, without even knowing
it.
This is an absolute electrifying thriller that
marks not only Amanda’s fight with being a woman on the force but can be
compared to Slaughter fighting her way into a man’s ‘thriller-writing’ world.
Slaughter definitely won the battle just as her character Amanda secured her
position.
Suspenseful, terrifying, thrilling. A read you
will be glad you picked up. Ten out of ten stars.
