readers unfamiliar with her work will find this one a perfect place
to begin.”
—Associated Press
“The first 16 pages of Karin Slaughter’s new novel are a master
class in suspense….Fallen, Slaughter’s 11th novel in 11 years,
shows again that she is in the first rank of today’s crime
novelists. Her story is expertly written, exhaustively researched,
steeped in police lore, deeply rooted in the author’s native
Georgia and exceedingly violent. Slaughter has a rare ability to
balance violence with a compassionate view of her complex and
all-too-human characters. She’s a supremely tough-minded novelist
who often writes with exceptional sensitivity…..Fallen is a
complex, gripping and deadly serious novel that reflects anew
Slaughter’s abundant talent. If you haven’t read her, you
should.” —The Washington Post
“Karin Slaughter has written a novel that is complex, unsettling,
and with one of the meatiest suspense plots of the
summer.” —Tucson Citizen
“Slaughter just keeps getting better!”
—Romantic Times Book Review
“Her talent is the equivalent of an Edgar Allan Poe or a Nathaniel
Hawthorne.…You can't dismiss the growth of Slaughter's talent. She
has always been a good writer but of late she has become an
exemplary storyteller, weaving her words with skill and
intelligence. Fallen is a prime example of her talent….Sometime in
the future, college classes will be devoted to Slaughter's books
and her writing skills will be dissected. She will be recognized as
one of the great talents of the 21st century and will hold an
honored place in the realm of world literature.” —Huffington
Post
“Slaughter has always known how to pace the suspense in her stellar
crime novels, but she really outdoes herself here….In what might be
her best effort yet, Slaughter reveals the heart and soul of her
characters within a highly choreographed, unrelentingly suspenseful
plot.”
—Booklist (starred)
“Karin has set a high bar with each of her books—and she
delivers….Once you close it, you will need time to think about the
story as you finally exhale.” —Bookreporter
“Gripping….a thriller sure to please Slaughter’s many fans.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Slaughter's thrillers are always exciting, but it's her compelling
