Criminal with bonus novella Snatched A Novel Will Trent series Book 6 eBook Karin Slaughter Reviews

What I love about this book in the series are the very different female characters that Karin Slaughter is developing with each new book. In Fallen, Faith Mitchell is the primary focus of the story. Faith is Will Trent's partner. She is also the daughter of the captain involved in an investigation of bad cops that Will headed awhile ago. Evelyn Mitchell is the best friend of Will's boss, Amanda Wagner.

What I like most about Slaughter's Will Trent series (and Grant County series) is that every character has a troubled or damaged past. They all have a mountain of issues to resolve. Some characters work tirelessly to improve the way they deal with their past and decisions for the future. Some, Angie in this series, can't get past their history and continually make bad choices that hurt others.

The crime and the police procedural are captivating and challenging, for me anyway, to solve. Many horrible criminals are vicious and scary. Will is becoming one of my favorite characters. I love how he is committed to his job. His dyslexia adds a unique character trait to this character.

The mystery and the characters' development are well done. The story keeps me turning the pages from beginning to end. I worry about how Angie is going to ruin Will and Sara's relationship, but again, it adds to the need to find out what happens next. I love participating in the buddy read. The insight I gain from the other members adds tremendously to my enjoyment of the series. I recommend this series to any mystery fan. However, it works better if Grant County series is read first.
MY REVIEW 5-STARS*****

In the latter part of 2017 I ran across a dated list [SERIAL KILLER NOVELS 10 OF THE BEST] posted on Britain's Crime Fiction Lover.com. Silence Of The Lambs By Thomas Harris was prominently featured as 1. on the reviewer's list. I selected three titles penned by authors who were unfamiliar to me. Two of the three novels were simply outstanding, and the third one, not so much.

But I digress... Karin Slaughter's Best-Selling Book CRIMINAL was slotted into 3. on the aforementioned selection "10 OF THE BEST". I was familiar with Karin Slaughter's novels and had listened to a number of her unabridged books on CD a few years back when my job dictated that I drive extensively throughout the state. I remembered her Special Agent Will Trent from the GBI, and recalled how much I thoroughly enjoyed her work. I decided to start at the beginning of her series which featured Will Trent, and read CRIMINAL only after I had refreshed my memory.

I began my much needed refresher course with the literary masterpiece TRIPTYCH, and then eagerly devoured the subsequent Will Trent Books ( FRACTURED, UNDONE, BROKEN, and FALLEN) prior to tackling the criminally captivating tour de force that was christened CRIMINAL.

It is my opinion that this novel was an incredibly ambitious undertaking and that it is deservedly the pinnacle of the Will Trent Series. The vast number of loyal readers who have followed the lives of her fictional characters will likely relish this special novel like no other, since it provides a long-anticipated, fulfilling, and yet thrilling back story into (particularly) our beloved flawed Will, his cold-blooded boss Amanda, and Faith's tough-as-nails mother Evelyn.
It is inevitable that the author would need to use a writing technique that would share the past with us readers in addition to exposing us to real or present time.

Flashbacks were deployed to brilliantly accomplish both goals, and for fans of her Will Trent Books, this doling out dollops of the past alternating with dishing out details of what was occurring in present day served to begin as a page-turner but morphed into an unputdownable book. It is worthwhile to note that Amanda and Evelyn's back story yield a shocking glimpse into the very real prejudices that female police officers faced in the 1970's.

This best-selling novel nor the incredible talent behind the book need no accolades from this loyal fan. I initially thought that I was going to be patient while I read all five books that preceded this one. But you know what? It was the most enjoyable reading experience I have had in literally years. I just finished reading the incredible thriller UNSEEN but I thought before I dive into another book I should leave a few notes of praise about the incomparable CRIMINAL.

By the way, CRIMINAL does not disappoint as a "serial killer thriller" but it is less about the hunt for a psychopathic sadistic killer's tracks, than it is about his initial capture by two unlikely heroes, and how society was both negatively and yes, positively effected by the killer's base acts of cruelty while on this earth.
I
One final note, and it is not a criticism per se. In general, I am not a big fan of flashbacks as a technique in fiction, especially when the technique is used continuously throughout the novel. Having said that, I am a big Bull Riding Fan, love the PBR. If the bull leaving the chute does anything to change the momentum---"hip" himself coming out, stumbles, etc. then the cowboy is entitled to a re-ride. Flashbacks have the potential to alter the momentum of the story, give it a disjointed feel, annoy the reader. This is especially true if the reader is not committed to absorbing and attempting to incorporate the material into the story line. Diverging roads ultimately meet in meaningful and satisfying ways, that is if you have a master of the game like Slaughter at the helm.

Here's what I think, and since I would rate this book 10 stars I certainly won't be taking one of my allotted 5 stars away! I am not positive that this novel is rock solid as a standalone book. If you are a fan of the Will Trent novels, then CRIMINAL is so solid that it could withstand the elements since prehistoric times. Just a thought.
Karin Slaughter delivers a Masterpiece of love, loyalty, and murder that would light the Big screen. A riveting story of two brutal murders, flashback of forty years, and hidden secrets. This bone-chilling crime novel grabs your attention in the very beginning with characters who come to life. Edge-of-your-seat intense suspense that will have you craving for more. Highly Recommended for all mystery and thriller lovers!
