A small Georgia town erupts in panic when a young college professor is found brutally mutilated in the local diner. But it's only when town pediatrician and coroner Sara Linton does the autopsy that the full extent of the killer's twisted work becomes clear. Sara's ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, leads the investigation - a trail of terror that grows increasingly macabre when another local woman is found crucified a few days later.

What would have made Skin Privilege better?
To have listened to the complete story. The abridged version was a complete waste of time. (I downloaded this version in error!)
Has Skin Privilege put you off other books in this genre?

Not quite sure what happened here.....
I love the Grant County series of books by Karin Slaughter, it's a good job really because if I didn't I'd have turned this performance off very quickly. The reader was good, she read clearly but large sections of the book were missed out, full pages just skipped, which made the story sound disjointed and awkward. There are also bizarre pieces of music played randomly over the words, they do t add anything to the story so I can't think why anyone decided it would be a good idea. what a shame, for the reader and the writer!

Awful abridged version- avoid
This is the worst abridged audio cd I've ever listened to. It has random harmonica music playing over parts of the story, chunks repeated, stuttering disjointed sentences. I cannot believe this has passed any publishing standard. Whoever edited this was totally incompetent. It's impossible to follow the story line; it jumps from one conversation/setting to something different. I shall be returning it. I hadn't realised it was an abridged version until I started listening and it became obvious parts were cut out mid sentence- very poor quality.

great story, frustrating recording
The story was fantastic however this recording jumped a number of times and I missed some critical parts of chapters. The chapters were not identified correctly, the audiobook showed only 5 chapters which were 1+ hours however most of Karin Slaughter's other work has many more chapters of much shorter length. The end of the chapters in the audiobook book had background music which drowned out the story. The chapters on the audiobook were not true ends to chapters, they often ended in the middle of a chapter and then the start of the next chapter would repeat the last couple of sentences just read!
