Then Jenny Deaver's autopsy reveals two stunning facts: she did not bear the murdered newborn discovered in the rink's restroom, and she had recently been genitally mutilated. With his ex-wife, pediatrician Sara Linton, Jeffrey uncovers a child sex and pornography ring involving Jenny, her classmates, and their mothers--a horrific enterprise that culminated in the killing that Tolliver will never be able to forget. This taut, chilling thriller showcases Karin Slaughter's skill at plotting, pace, and narrative, and will linger in the reader's mind long after the stunning denouement. This is a terrific sequel to her debut, Blindsighted, with two protagonists whose complex relationship will no doubt be a featured subplot in her next offering. --Jane Adams Product Description: Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember. But when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton - the town's paediatrician and medical examiner - finds herself entangled in a terrible tragedy. What seemed at first to be a terrible but individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications. The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse, of ritualistic self-mutilation, but when Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, they are frustrated at every turn. The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. But when a young girl is abducted, it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. And unless Sara and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Hypnotic StoryAre you a strong reader? I mean can you take anything in a book? Prepare yourself for this one. KISSCUT has a very dark theme, but a very hypnotic story. When Jeffrey Tolliver is forced to shoot a teenage girl who is pointing a gun at a teenage boy, all hell breaks loose in Grant County. The local sheriff has his hands full with his emotional turmoil, but that is nothing compared to the upheaval as a town's dark secret is brought to the surface. Karin Slaughter is an excellent ...

She really spins a good story even if a little scary sometimes. In this latest there are some really nasty characters, particularly two females. One of them got away completely so I am hoping there will be a sequel and our favourite policeman Jeffery Tolliver will be around long enough to catch this most evil of women. Took me a while to warm ... Read More Rating: - Sinister SuspenseThe rough and raw realm of child pornography is the background for this the sinister KISSCUT of Karen Slaughter's second story in the lives of small town residents in Georgia. Slaughter spares no punches with graphic detail as police chief, Jeffery Tolliver and his ex-wife Sara, the county medical examiner follow a trail of frustrating leads, which destroys the maniac's path. To save a life Jeffery must take the life of a young girl, which will forever haunt him. This is a page turner you are reluctant ... Read More Rating: - Grant Co wins againThis is a great series of books. I have never been disappointed with Karin Slaught's Grant Co books. I recommend that you read the book preceeding this one. But, they are all good reads. Rating:  - ShockingA shocking novel about a shocking subject. This book left me breathless thinking that such horrible crimes happen in real life too. A real page turner I couldn't put down. It was almost painful to read about such a gruesome subject, but at the same time, I wanted to know how it ended and who got caught. The main characters almost fade into the background because of the subject of the story. A book that gets the adrenaline pumping. Almost as shocking as Mo Hayder's Treatment and Birdman.The TreatmentBirdman
