Product Description
“Brilliant plotting, relentless suspense,” raved the Washington Post. “A new synonym for terror,” crowned the Detroit Free Press. The critics agree: no one writes suspense like Karin Slaughter, whose thrillers featuring medical examiner Sara Linton and her ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, have propelled her to the top of bestseller lists the world over. Now Slaughter fuses her unmatched grasp of forensic science and a mastery of complex relationships in a riveting tale of faith, doubt, and murder.
The victim was buried alive in the Georgia woods—then killed in a horrifying fashion. When Sara Linton and Jeffrey Tolliver stumble upon the body, both become consumed with finding out who killed the pretty, impeccably dressed young woman. And for Sara and Jeffrey, a harrowing journey begins, one that will test their own turbulent relationship and draw dozens of lives into the case.
Lena Adams is one of them. A Grant County detective for years, she has her own reasons for being drawn to this case and a fierce drive to see justice done. For these three people, who have each seen the darkest side of human nature, the body of the murdered girl is but the first in a series of shocking and sordid revelations.
Now, as Jeffrey and Sara narrow the field of suspects, they must confront their own doubts and indiscretions, while Lena Adams sees herself reflected in the frightened eyes of a battered woman who may be the key figure in the case. As Faithless builds to a stunning and unforgettable climax, Karin Slaughter masterfully brings together strands of interlocking lives, family secrets, and hidden passions with one astounding truth: the identity of a killer who is more evil and dangerous than anyone could have guessed.

 Confusing and just plain bad. June 14, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book didn't pass my 50 page test. I almost quit when Jeff tripped over a pipe in the ground...and both he and Sara immediately start digging! There must be a body! Huh? Then we are in Lena's POV - who the hell is she? I don't know and don't care. I hated every character I encountered. This POS book is full of backstory, sub-plots and WAY too many words! How anyone can read this drivel is beyond me. I gave up before I hit page 50.
Good Grant County book May 19, 2008
This book had an interesting plot. I've read it twice, once before I had read any of the other books of the series and then again in order. I liked it much better the 2nd time when I actually knew the characters! If you enjoy the series, you should like this one.
 The Grant County series- one of the best there is! February 12, 2008
The Grant Co series is one of the finest mystery series that there is. The triad of main characters, Lena, Jeffrey and Sarah, are a fascinating mix of vulnerability, strength, good and bad. What I love about this series is that not a single one of the main characters is totally good or bad. Like real people, they screw up, and sometimes never make it right. I can not wait to get to the next book!
Love the Grant Co Series February 8, 2008
This is yet another great read from Karin Slaughter. The Grant Co series never disappoints. I do recommend reading the books that preceed this one. But, it is a good book.
Suspense and Religion... October 26, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For fans of the Grant County series, this book does not disappoint. I read the first one, Blindsighted recently and then came across this one. I usually don't read book in a series out of order, but I was curious so I did. Though I obviously missed some important trials and tribulations of the main characters (Lena especially)I did enjoy this one. The ending was good nail biting suspense. Having missed several books with Lena, I wasn't sure how she would handle the situation. I've already ordered the next book in the series that is coming out. Now I have to back track and find the installments I missed.
