Title: Not A Good Idea...
Review: I've read all of Slaughter's books since her first, BLINDSIGHTED, and each one only became better than the last. I raced through FAITHLESS (which is great, by the way) to begin TRIPTYCH.....and am totally disappointed in this book. It simply isn't worth the read. Karin Slaughter has followed Patricia Cornwell in departing from her tried and true main character and format to do a stand-alone book.A horse of a very different color. There isn't even a trace of her feminine flair for forensics (how's that for alliteration?) anywhere...just a lot of severed tongues and gorey murder scenes and a cast of ugly and unlikeable cretins who made me want to toss the book without finishing it.I did finish it but I hated it.I understand Slaughter is at work on another such book and my only comment, regarding a successful writing genre is: if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
Is the review positive or negative?
