Book Reviews of Beyond Reach (Grant County)Book Review: If this is her worst book, how excellent must be her other books! Summary: 5 StarsHere 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 (Grant County)With over 13 million copies of her books sold in twenty-two countries, #1 internationally bestselling author Karin Slaughter delivers "crime fiction at its finest." Now she returns to Grant county, Georgia where the lightning-fast plot, vivid forensic detail, and heart-stopping suspense will thrust readers into the darkest corners of their own imaginations-and push Slaughter to the top of the national bestseller lists.
Sara Linton-resident medical examiner/pediatrician in Grant County, Georgia,-has plenty of hardship to deal with, including defending herself in a heartbreaking malpractice suit. So when her husband, Police chief Jeffery Tolliver, learns that his friend and coworker detective Lena Adams has been arrested for murder and needs Sara's help, she is not sure she can handle the pressure of it all. But soon Sara an Jeffery are sitting through evidence, peeling back the layers of a mystery that grows darker by the day-until an intricate web of betrayal and vengeance begins to unravel. And suddenly the lives of Sara, Lena, and Jeffery are hanging by the slenderest of threads.
