About this listen

In the city of Atlanta, young women are dying—at the hands of a killer who signs his work with a single, chilling act of mutilation. Leaving behind enough evidence to fuel a frenzied police hunt, this cunning madman is bringing together dozens of lives, crossing the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread—and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael’s lover before she became his enemy.

But another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer’s trail in the most coincidental of ways—someone who may be the key to breaking the case wide open….

Critic reviews

"Slaughter's gift for building multi-layered tension while deconstructing damaged personalities gives this thriller a nerve-wracking finish."—USA Today

"[Karin Slaughter] writes with a razor...Triptych elevates her to the top of my list of favorite crime writers."—Cleveland Plain Dealer

I've read this book with another narrator, and although I loved the book, I didn't much like the narrator. Karin Slaughter has smartly decided to have it reread by Kathleen Early, who narrates all the other Will Trent books. What a difference! Listening to it with Kathleen's narration made the book so much more enjoyable.
This book introduces us to Will Trent as well as Angie Polaski, who plays a major role is several later books. Also introduced are Leo Donnelly and Pete Hanson, who play minor roles in future books. And who could leave out the inimitable Amanda Wagner, Will's boss, tormentor, and weirdly supportive presence.

Masterfully Read by Kathleen Early

Good character development, a plot that moved forward well and great presentation. The descriptions of sexual acts were disturbing and took away from the story line.

description of sexual content not for faint of heart
