It’s the most dangerous case of Will Trent’s career. He knows this from the moment he sets foot in the abandoned Atlanta warehouse where a body of an ex-cop lies on the floor. Bloody footprints reveal that another victim, evidently a woman, was carried away. The warehouse belongs to the city’s most high-profile athlete — a local hero married to Will’s ex-wife. But for Will — and also for Sara Linton, the GBI’s newest medical examiner — the case is about to get even worse. Because an unexpected discovery reveals a personal link to Will’s troubled past — and the consequences will wreak havoc on his life and the lives of those he loves, those he works with, and those he pursues.
A great read for Will Trent fans The Kept Woman is Karin Slaughter’s latest entry in the Will Trent series. I will admit that I was so excited to see that Slaughter was returning to this series. I’ve been a constant reader from way back and feel that Will Trent is one of the author’s most interesting characters. Will has always exhibited that pitch perfect combination of machismo and vulnerability that makes him a compelling hero. In this latest offering, we find Will happily involved in a relationship with Sara yet still…
Not a stand alone book, great addition to the series. If you have followed the Will Trent series from the beginning, especially if you have followed the series since Sarah and her first husband you will enjoy this newest addition. If you are new to the series you will struggle with not only the storyline, but Will Trent in particular – you may not even like Will in this book…this would be so unfair as he is a great character.Â
Definitely NOT “Little Women”! This is another excellent book by Karin Slaughter. The title may be “The Kept Woman”, but what this book is really about is “women”, and many of them. There is plenty of suspense and enough twists and turns in the plot to satisfy readers, like myself, who appreciate this genre.Â
