Book Rating

I had high hopes for this book, but I really don’t think that I “got” it. As it was all written in the third person, I struggled to work out who some chapters were about until I was a good way into them. And considering the subject matter, the ballroom culture, the missing children, it was just quite uninspiring. Perhaps I’m just not the target audience for this book. Actually, I DON’T agree with this. I was really keen to read a book about Drag culture and to learn something from it, and to some degree, I did. I just wish there had been a bit more “oomph”. Even the scene with the gun barely raised a gasp from me - it was more of a “but why?” Maybe I missed the motivation. I don’t know. This book has a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews on Goodreads, which just goes to show that what doesn’t work for one person works really well for another. I’m glad I tried it though.

Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated Undone (Will Trent, #3) in Books

May 10, 2018

Will Trent and his partner Faith Mitchell are in the emergency room of Grady Hospital. Faith had just passed out. As they are there a woman is brought into the emergency room. She had been held captive, raped, tortured and then hit by a car. Together, Will and Faith try to find out who this woman is and where she came from. Most importantly who did this to her and are there others.

This is the first book I have read by Karin Slaughter. I am hooked already. I will be going back now to read the first two Will Trent books so I can get a better grasp of who this man is.

No one believes he is a cop. He is too quiet and gets down on himself too easily. I guess he doesn't have that cop ego(that's why I like him).

My main motivation for reading this book was to prepare for a Q&A Karin Slaughter will be doing on April 8th. If interested in joining the discussion, join the group A Good Thriller. I'm already filling with questions to ask.
