"I liked this book, but more for the Lena / Terri story line than anything else. I found the whole farm / church / cult thing a tired story line. About the only interesting aspect of this was learning that the man that started this was the one that Cathy had the affair with that almost ended her and Eddie's marriage. I also am tired of Sara and Jeffery going back and forth. It is time to fish or cut bait. And Tessa doing a 180 and going for the Pastor at the church, so not believeable. I realize that with what has happened to her in the past she is re-evaluating her life, but I don't buy it.
What I liked best about Lena and Terri is that Lena knows she is in a bad situation, but she just isn't sure she has enough power or will to get out. By meeting Terri and seeing her in the same situation it is like looking at her own life. In the end she sees that even though things are bad Terri was able to take the power back and be free. Now Lena just needs to work up the courage to do the same."
"I am enjoying these more as I revisit the characters. So much of the seamier side of life and always the question if the authors give new ideas to crummy people. Truly some of the ways of cruelty have simply never entered my mind and the capacity to come up with these methods is just scary at times! but, Sara and Jeff, and Lena become more compelling folks.
medical examiner Sara Linton and her ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, have propelled her to the top of bestseller lists the world over. Now Slaughter fuses her unmatched grasp of forensic science and a mastery of complex relationships in a riveting tale of faith, doubt, and murder.
The victim was buried alive in the Georgia woods-then killed in a horrifying fashion. When Sara Linton and Jeffrey Tolliver stumble upon the body, both become consumed with finding out who killed the pretty, impeccably dressed young woman. And for Sara and Jeffrey, a harrowing journey begins, one that will test their own turbulent relationship and draw dozens of lives into the case.
Lena Adams is one of them. A Grant County detective for years, she has her own reasons for being drawn to this case and a fierce drive to see justice done. For these three people, who have each seen the darkest side of human nature, the body of the murdered girl is but the first in a series of shocking and sordid revelations.
Now, as Jeffrey and Sara narrow the field of suspects, they must confront their own doubts and indiscretions, while Lena Adams sees herself reflected in the frightened eyes of a battered woman who may be the key figure in the case. As Faithless builds to a stunning and unforgettable climax, Karin Slaughter masterfully brings together strands of interlocking lives, family secrets, and hidden passions with one astounding truth: the identity of a killer who is more evil and dangerous than anyone could have guessed."
