What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
The first book in Karin Slaughter's #1 bestselling GRANT COUNTY series.
She was found in the local diner. Brutally murdered. Ritually mutilated.
And she won't be the last.
_________________________________________
The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds a woman dead in the local diner.
She has been cut: two deep knife wounds form a lethal cross over her stomach. But it's only once Sara starts to perform the post-mortem that the full extent of the killer's brutality becomes clear.
Police chief Jeffrey Tolliver - Sara's ex-husband - is in charge of the investigation, and when a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, both Jeffrey and Sara have to face the fact that themurder wasn't a one-off attack. What they're dealing with is a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer...

Critics Review
-
Don't read this alone. Don't read this after dark. But do read it
Daily Mirror
-
This gripping debut novel, filled with unremittingly graphic forensic details, is likely to have Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs glancing nervously in their rearview mirrors because rookie Karin Slaughter is off the starting grid as quickly as Michael Schumacher and is closing on them fast
Irish Independent
-
Chilling but thrilling
OK!
-
Slaughter ... brings the story to a shattering climax
Sunday Telegraph

Wildly readable... [Slaughter] has been compared to Thomas Harris and Patricia Cornwell, and for once the hype is justified ... deftly craf ted, damnably suspenseful and, in the end, deadly serious ... Slaughter 's plotting is brilliant, her suspense relentless
Washington Post
-
Unsparing, exciting, genuinely alarming ... excellent handling of densely woven plot, rich in interactions, well characterised and as subt le as it is shrewd ... A formidable debut
Literary Review
-
An extraordinary debut ... Slaughter has created a ferociously taut and terrifying story which is, at the same time, compassionate and real. I defy anyone to read it in more than three sittings
Denise Mina
-
Wildly readable...Blindsighted hits the bull's eye.
New York Post
-
An unflinching suspense thriller . . . Blindsighted is a promising debut, and Karin Slaughter is a novelist to watch
