Karin Slaughter is a native Georgian and sets her novels in Georgia. She has used the fictitious Grant County as the setting for her earlier novels, but she is now using the city of Atlanta. Those of you who have read her previous novels know that Karin is very graphic in her portrayals of her characters. She is very explicit in her dealings with the crimes committed in her books and leaves very little to the imagination. In "Undone", Sara Linton, has moved from Grant County to Atlanta. She is trying to forget the murder of her husband and is working at Grady Hospital. In "Triptych" and "Beyond Reach" we were introduced to two new characters, Will Trent and Faith Mitchell, both detectives on the Atlanta Police Force. These three team up in "UNdone" to try and solve the mystery of three young women's disappearance. The three attempt to find a common thread to tie the disappearances together. The troubles facing them include, Will trying to keep hs dyslexia hidden everyone but Faith, Faith trying to keep her diabetes and pregnancy hidden from everyone, and Sara struggling to find a new life in Atlanta, but still being haunted by her past. The story starts with two women escaping from their captivity and the search to identify them. They both have been severely mutilated and while one dies, the other clings precariously to life. The Rockdale County Police, who responded to the emergency call, are attempting to cover up evidence because they were criminally late in getting to the scene of the crime. An excellent read for mystery lovers and especially those in the Atlanta area. The reader should exercise some caution in that the book does contain some graphic language and graphic crime scenes.
