Karin Slaughter’s use of dialogue makes the relationships between her characters compulsive reading. In The Silent Wife, Will and Faith’s investigation into a spate of murders leads them to re-open one of Jeffrey Tolliver’s cases from eight years ago. Every alternate chapter goes back to that time as Jeffrey hunted down the perpetrator of some similar murders. The ever fascinating story of Sarah and Will becomes complicated by Sarah’s inevitable memories of her love for Jeffrey.
I read Karin Slaughter’s books when and where I find them; for instance, this one was from the Parkes Regional online library, and the previous one I bought from a supermarket in Hazy View, South Africa. This means I have a higgledy piggledy way of following the story of Sarah and Will but it is always wildly interesting and super enjoyable because of Karin Slaughter’s brilliant storytelling.
Karin Slaughter is a simply fabulous crime writer!
