Beyond sad	Customer Rating:
Skin PrivilegeEnjoyed this book greatly but was saddened and horrified by the ending. Found the switching between characters a bit confusing. Nonetheless a rivetting read. Hopefully there will be a follow on but not sure how she will manage this.

Great book - shocking ending

Customer Rating:

Like others on here, I too have read all of Karin Slaughters books and, in my humble opinion, she just keeps getting better and better. This book centres around Lena the hard boiled police officer from Heartsdale. The book starts with the violence we are used to expecting from Ms Slaughters books and draws you further and further into the murky underworld of the storyline. The story is spun from both the viewpoints of both Lena and the joint team of Jeffrey Tolliver and Sara Linton, husband and wife police chief and town paediatrician. Skilfully wrapped together, the story draws you deeper into ever more bloody violence and human intolerance to others. A fabulous book that never lets up from start to finish and OMG what a finish! Totally unexpected, totally shocking. Truly a superb book. Dont miss it!!

I won't be reading Karin Slaughter again	Customer Rating:
Like others, I was extremely disappointed, and I admit, a tad upset, at the ending. So bothered in fact, that I won't read any more of her books.

Loved it!

Customer Rating:

I can understand other people's anger at the way Karin ended the book, however, I think she has left it open if she wants to come back to it. We don't actually know 100% what the outcome was, and she could come back to it when she gets some more inspiration. I really enjoyed the book, and I think it was a great eye-opener at some of the problems in the Deep South with racism and prejudice. It was quite educational, especially with problems that Barack Obama is facing, and these are the sort of people he is up against. She writes in such a manner that you can believe what is being said and how it is being said. I love her style and the fact that she keeps you on the edge of her seat. There are also complaints that she focused on Lena too much. I quite liked that, it was nice to learn a bit more about her character and about her uncle and his shady past. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and it was quite possibly my favourite out of the series.

Not The Best In The Series

Customer Rating:

In Skin Privilege Lena Adams returns to the small town of her youth, where she becomes the prime suspect in a vicious murder. It is up to her boss, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, and his wife, Sara Linton, to prove her innocence. Their case is not helped, though, when Lena goes on the run. This book deals more with the character Lena Adams, than the other books in the series, and I found it quite a depressing read. It's not that I don't like Lena's character, but I feel the author really piles on the misery in this one. As for the storyline itself, I found that it was quite slow moving for the most part, and only really got me hooked towards the end. Overall, an okay read, but there are better books in the Grant County series.
