Book Reviews of Beyond Reach: A Novel (Grant County)
Book Review: If this is her worst book, how excellent must be her other books!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is the order in which I approached this book:
1. I discovered and bought it at the airport, lack of anything else looking promising. I (European) was reluctant, as I had been disappointed by a number of recent American "thrillers" in the past; they were too simple, too PC, too much boring filler sentences. Needless to say, "Beyond Reach" was my first "Karin Slaughter" book.
2. I read the book and got completely fascinated by her creative, dense, multi-fold and yet reader-friendly writing style. Slaughter thinks about the tiniest logical details, she builds up enormous suspense, and the best is, she then takes the reader by his hand to make sure he gets all the solutions. I especially liked the two intermingling timelines. It is a literary accomplishment, to keep both those stories alive and connected at the same time like Slaughter does. Also (but this is probably the same with all her books), I like how vividly she relates the somber, thick atmosphere in redneck America to the reader.
3. I check the Amazon page - completely buffled by discovering the disappointed comments of all those faithful readers feeling apparently cheated by this book. I just thought: If this is one of her worse books, how excellent must be all her previous books!
Summary of Beyond Reach: A Novel (Grant County)
In a stifling hospital room in a small Georgia town, Detective Lena Adams sits, silent and angry?the only suspect in a horrific murder. Soon, a hundred miles away, Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver will get the call that his young detective has been arrested. And Jeffrey?s wife, pediatrician and medical examiner Sara Linton, has troubles of her own and little patience for Lena or her dramas. Fighting a heartbreaking malpractice suit, Sara cannot guess that within days she herself will be at the center of a bizarre and murderous case.
For Lena has fled back to the place where she grew up hard, careening back through the shadows of her past and into a shocking underground world of bigotry and rage. And now only Jeffrey and Sara can free Lena from the web of lies and brutality that has trapped her?as this powerhouse of a novel races toward its shattering climax?and a final, unforgettable twist.
