Fallen (by Karin Slaughter)
I am completely hooked on this Will Trent series of novels! Karin Slaughter is a masterful storyteller with complex, likable characters. I couldn’t be happier that Sara Linton, from the Grant County series, is a part of these stories. She is my favorite character, in any series, for her strength, compassion, and perseverance. Fallen is the fifth book in the series and I was immediately mesmerized by the story.
Right from the beginning, alarm bells are ringing in Faith Mitchell’s mind when she can’t reach her mom, Evelyn Mitchell, on the phone. Faith arrives at her mom’s house to find blood on the door and her infant daughter hidden in a shed. She disregards her training and enters the house to find a dead man in the laundry room, and a hostage situation in her mother’s bedroom. Even more terrifying is that Faith still hasn’t found her mom. Total chaos ensues and Faith finds herself at the center of an investigation. The cavalry of Amanda, Will Trent, and Sara Linton come to Faith’s aid. The three work tirelessly to make sense of why Evelyn was kidnapped and where she is being held.
Karin wrote yet another outstanding novel that is filled with suspense and a case of strong women characters. I also love the direction the relationship between Will and Sara is headed.
I borrowed the audiobook version from my local library through the Libby App. Kathleen Early is a wonderful narrator.
