There's no police training stronger than a cop's instinct. Faith Mitchell’s mother isn't answering her phone. Her front door is open. There's a bloodstain above the knob. Her infant daughter is hidden in a shed behind the house. All that the Georgia Bureau of Investigations taught Faith Mitchell goes out the window when she charges into her mother's house, gun drawn. She sees a man dead in the laundry room. She sees a hostage situation in the bedroom. What she doesn't see is her mother. . . .
"You know what we're here for. Hand it over, and we'll let her go."
When the hostage situation turns deadly, Faith is left with too many questions, not enough answers. To find her mother, she'll need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and they'll both need the help of trauma doctor Sara Linton. But Faith isn't just a cop anymore—she's a witness. She's also a suspect.
The thin blue line hides police corruption, bribery, even murder. Faith will have to go up against the people she respects the most in order to find her mother and bring the truth to light—or bury it forever.
Karin Slaughter's most exhilarating novel yet is a thrilling journey through the heart and soul, where the personal and the criminal collide, and conflicted loyalties threaten to destroy reputations and ruin lives. It is the work of a master of the thriller at the top of her game, and a whirlwind of unrelenting suspense.
My Review:
Karin Slaughter's books are always in a few days, it seems. Like this one takes place over 3 to 4 days. So it was pretty quick. But the amount of new information gathered in each day? Amazing, as per usual!
Loved the plot, and the clues, the mystery! So complex, and wonderful, and breathtaking! Fallen was such a great novel! I really enjoyed it, and the developments, the partner relationship between Will and Faith grew as old secrets were told, and so many other developments, this was such a great book!
The main bad guy, never would've guessed. Well, maybe, because there was one clue, but only if you knew some other things that were introduced later, and well, yeah, it was so amazing to read this book!
I absolutely loved this book, so I hope you guys check it out!
