Synopsis

Don’t miss the next Will Trent thriller, This Is Why We Lied, coming this August! Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember, but when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton - the town's pediatrician and medical examiner - finds herself entangled in a terrible tragedy.What seemed at first to be a horrific but individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications. The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse, of ritualistic self -mutilation, but when Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, they are frustrated at every turn.The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. Then a young girl is abducted, and it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. Meanwhile, detective Lena Adams, still recovering from her sister's death and her own brutal attack, finds herself drawn to a young man who might hold the answers. But unless Lena, Sara, and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again...

Goodreads review by Mary Beth on March 21, 2016

Kisscut is not for the fainthearted, graphic repulsive subject matter, very horrifying scenes of intense evil, and layer upon layer of deception. Be warned!! Kisscut is the second book in the Grant County Series. The book opens explosively. Jenny, a high school student, confronts a teenage boy outsid......more

Goodreads review by Jonetta on February 25, 2015

The story begins at a skating rink where a young girl pulls a gun on another teen and a standoff involving the police ensues. It sets off a chain of events that goes into a direction I didn't expect. It's an awful, uncomfortable story that Slaughter tells masterfully. My emotions were all over the p......more

Goodreads review by Lindsay L on April 23, 2021

4 stars for my first Karin Slaughter book! I’ve heard that Karin Slaughter is an author like no other. I was warned that she is edgy and not afraid to tackle highly disturbing, gruesome and uncomfortable subject matter. This book really proved that! This was an extremely shocking, fast paced, suspense......more
