Cop Town by Karin Slaughter
'Karin Slaughter is simply one of the best thriller writers working today, and Cop Town shows the author at the top of her game relentless pacing, complex characters, and gritty realism, all set against the backdrop of a city on the edge.Much more than a thriller ... Karin Slaughter's unforgettable female characters, and stunning evocation of time and place, make Cop Town one of the most powerful and moving reads of recent memory ... A masterpiece. -- Kathryn Stockett, author of THE HELP
Stunning . . . In Karin Slaughter's first stand-alone novel, she breaks new ground with this riveting story of two young police officers trying to stop a serial killer targeting cops. Her characters, plot and pacing are unrivaled among thriller writers and if you haven't yet read her, this is the moment. -- Michael Connelly
Vivid, gritty and taut, this terrific whodunit keeps you guessing. * Sunday Mirror *
Karin Slaughter has long been comfortably ahead of the pack in the field of powerful and disturbing crime fiction but Cop Town shows a broadening of reach: it is a more ambitious novel than any she has previously written. Her achievement here is such that many fans will be happy to see her continuing to devote her attention to similar standalone novels. * Financial Times *
This is hardboiled crime fiction from the pen of an absolute master of the genre. The characters are credible, and the sexist, racist, homophobic world they inhabit is brilliantly and brutally drawn. The end hints at a returning series, and we'd definitely be back for more. * heat magazine *
The plot, which describes the hunt for a killer, is enriched by the vivid portrait of the place and time. This is a gripping thriller with a feminist subtext, describing the foreign country that is the recent past. * Literary Review *
