Publisher's summary

From Atlanta's wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed 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 unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer's trail in the most coincidental of ways and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open.

In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the best-selling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman. Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, Triptych ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.

Slow to Start with Great Twists

I have come to enjoy Karin Slaughter's twisted and winding stories. This was a slow start on this book for me after reading the Grant County series and to hear things from Will's perspective was such a switch. However, he grew on me and now I am reading to hear the rest of his stories.

Very Intense!

What made the experience of listening to Triptych the most enjoyable?

I really didn't notice any chapters.....it was very fast paced and difficult to stop listening.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. You really did want to hear how it would all turn out.

Any additional comments?

Michael did a pretty good job with the male voices, but most of the females tended to sound pretty similar. I didn't find it too distracting though.

Great story

I have enjoyed all the Trent series. The only downside was the narration. I just couldn't get into his voice.

Predictable

Kept my interest, however, I was waiting for a twist toward the end. Predictable but enjoyable.

Very good story

I read reviews on this book before buying, everyone said how dark it is; and that it is TOO dark. I agree that its dark but I loved it. Its just a story people! Honestly the most disturbing part for me was when Angie said "you should put a plastic bag over the dogs head" I think you need things like this in a story like this to keep it interesting. I have read all kinds of detective, murder mysteries and none of them kept my attention like this one; I will be listening to the rest of the series!
