It's the most dangerous case of Will Trent's career. He knows this from the moment he sets foot in the abandoned Atlanta warehouse where a body lies on the floor—the body of an ex-cop. Bloody footprints leading away from the scene reveal that another victim, evidently a woman, was carried away and has vanished into thin air. And, worst of all, the warehouse belongs to the city's biggest and most high-profile athlete—a local hero protected by the world's most expensive lawyers. A hero married to Will's ex-wife. A hero whom Will's superiors at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have spent the last six months investigating for rape.

But for Will—and also for Sara Linton, the GBI's newest medical examiner—the case is about to get even worse. Because an unexpected discovery at the scene reveals a personal link to Will's troubled past, and the consequences will wreak havoc on his life and the lives of those he loves, those he works with, and those he pursues.

Relentlessly suspenseful and furiously paced, The Kept Woman marks Karin Slaughter's triumphant return to her most popular series.

Fabulous narration by Kathleen Early, who has an incredible amount of characters in her arsenal-- with the exception of the poor German accent.
Really engrossing story by Karen Slaughter; it was my first of hers and I will order another. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

Plenty of twists and turns. Never sure about how it's going to end until you get there.

Great story

I caught on to her books a few years ago and was drawn to the light/dark characters...before Angie and Will came along there was Lena and Jeffrey different but the same. I physically felt Sarah's pain when her husband...well read it and find out...and I vote both Lena and Angie bite a bullet which alludes to how deeply vested a reader may become so long as you read these books.
The reader has a beautiful soothing versatile voice with great enunciation yet a flowing pace so as to not sound stilted
Def a great buy and wort your time and credit

...because now I have to wait for the next in the series. Excellent continuation. No sappy, happily ever after for these strong, triumphant, multifaceted characters. Very well done.

Didn't want it to end...
