I have been a faithful Karin Slaughter reader since her first book (19 years ago!!). She get's better with every new book. Although some of the details in THE SILENT WIFE were a bit too graphic for me, this was an amazing story. I loved how the timeline jumped back and forth from past to present and was absolutely shocked to find out "whodunnit"!! Cannot wait to recommend this book! Amazing.

I'm almost 2 weeks in to coronavirus social isolation and very sadly haven't been able to find a book that will drown out the anxiety and capture my attention this whole time. I actually had the thought "I wish Karin Slaughter had a new book." And then I signed into NetGalley and The Silent Wife was there!!! I seriously almost cried from happiness. And then tore through it in 2 days. The Silent Wife is the latest installment of the Will Trent series. This book flashes back in time so we get to see some of our old favorite characters from the Grant County series as well. Ten books into this series and it is still going strong. The characters are still likable, the story was unexpected, and I didn't know it was possible but Slaughter may have one upped herself with the horrific, disturbing crimes in this one.

Will Trent and his partner are visiting the the state prison to question a prisoner who was accused of a ghastly attack nearly a decade before. A new attack, identical to the one the man was sent away for, has been committed. Was the wrong man convicted? Will has to suss out the truth to stop a killer and he’ll need the help of his lover, medical examiner Sara Linton to do it. Slaughter’s stories are so good because she’s able to balance her mysteries with the personal and emotional lives of her characters, bringing her stories to life
