Publisher Description
The victim was buried alive in the Georgia woods—then killed in a horrifying fashion. When Sara Linton and Jeffrey Tolliver stumble upon the body, both become consumed with finding out who killed the pretty, impeccably dressed young woman. And for Sara and Jeffrey, a harrowing journey begins, one that will test their own turbulent relationship and draw dozens of lives into the case.
Lena Adams is one of them. A Grant County detective for years, she has her own reasons for being drawn to this case and a fierce drive to see justice done. For these three people, who have each seen the darkest side of human nature, the body of the murdered girl is but the first in a series of shocking and sordid revelations.
Now, as Jeffrey and Sara narrow the field of suspects, they must confront their own doubts and indiscretions, while Lena Adams sees herself reflected in the frightened eyes of a battered woman who may be the key figure in the case. As Faithless builds to a stunning and unforgettable climax, Karin Slaughter masterfully brings together strands of interlocking lives, family secrets, and hidden passions with one astounding truth: the identity of a killer who is more evil and dangerous than anyone could have guessed.

Faithless, Karin Slaughter's fifth novel, confirms her at the summit of the school of writers specialising in forensic medicine and terror, a field which includes Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs.... Slaughter’s characters talk in believable dialogue, She’s excellent at portraying the undertones and claustrophobia of communities where everyone knows everyone else’s business, and even better at creating an atmosphere of lurking evil.

" Love all of the books in this series. The characters remain interesting, and the story holds your attention. It's the type of bbok that you can read in an afternoon because it's hard to put down. "

" This book is suspenseful and exciting to read. I could not put it down. The ending was amazing and worth while. "
— Klodiana, 2/3/2014 -
" keeps you wanting to know what happened and who the killer is. the turn of events is surprising and not predictable. it was good. my only objection was that it seemed like most of the main female characters were dealing with some type of problem relating to children. it would have been nice if one of the characters had a healthy child. "

" I just love the Grant County series... Karin Slaughter is one of my most favourite authors and her books are totally unputdownable. "Faithless" is no different. Touching a darker side in places of one of the regular characters, she gives a fantastic twist to it at the end of the book. "
