Karin Slaughter is one of the most widely read crime fiction authors working today, with a career spanning more than two decades. Her Grant County series, which began with Blindsighted in 2001, introduced readers to medical examiner Sara Linton and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver in a small Georgia town. The series ran for six novels and several shorter works, establishing Slaughter’s reputation for unflinching crime writing.
The Will Trent series, which started with Triptych in 2006, became her flagship. Agent Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has appeared in more than a dozen novels, and the series crossed over with Grant County characters, giving long-time readers unexpected connections. Slaughter has also written the Andrea Oliver books, the Good Daughter novels, standalone thrillers like Pretty Girls and False Witness, and the newer North Falls Thriller series.
Her books are known for their honest depiction of violence and its aftermath, with particular attention to crimes against women. Slaughter doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects, and her plotting is tight enough that most of her novels can be read in a sitting or two.
