"The Kept Woman" by Karin Slaughter
Slaughter is the perfect name for the author of this book because it opens up with a slaughter that sets in motion the tone of the book. Karin Slaughter holds nothing back in the description of that gruesome scene she is unfolding for her audience and there were times I had to put the book down because I felt I was going to faint picturing the scene in my head. But I'm kind of a weak-ling in that regard!
This book kept me turning the page to figure out the "who-dun-it". Usually I'm not a fan when the auther goes back and forth between character stories but I did not feel lost and she timed the transitions so well that her story was easy to follow.
Reading through this book I went through emotions of pity, anger, frustration....every emotion to keep you in the book. The twists weren't too out of left-field and I felt like I was becoming the detective with trying to figure out what the next twist would be.
This book was very entertaining and I would recommend it if you're looking for a good suspense.
