Skin Privilege by Karin Slaughter
4.0
Skin Privilege
4 Stars
Series note: The final book in the Grant County series also published as Beyond Reach.
Karin Slaughter's incredible characterization and spellbinding storytelling abilities are proven once again when Sara and Jeffrey get caught up in another of Lena's messes. Slaughter is one of the only authors who manages to grip the reader for over 500 pages despite the fact that her characters are some of the most unlikable people ever to grace the pages of a book.
There are moments in this story when I couldn't care less if certain characters lived or died, and others in which my heart sped up and even skipped a beat. The ending is simply heart-wrenching, and it is difficult to see how Slaughter will make up for it even though I'm sure she will ultimately succeed.
It will be interesting to see where Slaughter takes her characters from here.
