Fast-paced, clock ticking, heat pounding suspense!

Karin Slaughter doesn't disappoint with this latest offering. A white knuckle ride from beginning to end, simply storytelling at its finest. Highly recommended!
knew I was in for an enjoyable but bumpy ride when I opened The Last Widow. Karin Slaughter always takes you away from the obvious in an involved but fascinating way. This latest Will Trent, Georgia Bureau investigator and Sara Linton, Medical Examiner, thriller is no exception. The kidnapping of a disease control scientist from an Atlanta shopping mall has almost been forgotten when a massive explosion interrupts a family meal Sara and Will are attending at Sara's parents. They rush to the scene of destruction only for Sara to be taken by members of the radical group responsible, and Will injured. Now quickly into a disturbing but realistic scenario, you are taken on an exploration of some of the worst aspects of modern American life. The hunt for those involved is detailed from every aspect - the investigators, the cult and their aims, the 2 kidnapped women, Sara and Michelle. Not for the fainthearted but all comes together as gripping read with nothing so unexpected as the ultimate conclusion
