[books 2009] Triptych

[inulro]

3. Triptych by Karin Slaughter

A stand-alone novel that is not part of Slaughter's Grant County series. Which, as I have said elsewhere, are really compelling mysteries with really annoying investigative characters.

This one starts out as a standard police procedural but things rapidly get turned on their head and expectations go out the window. The middle portion of the book lets the reader know that one thing after another isn't what it seems.

I started it Friday morning and finished it at 11:00 am today, and is probably the closest to reading a book in one sitting that I've done since I got hold of the first PJ Tracy novel.

Despite a strong feeling that her name just has to be false (or a very good example of nominative determinism), I quite like those of her books that I've read. Triptych was particularly good.
