Triptych was the first book I read by Karin Slaughter and I finished the book in just a few days, I’m hooked on Will Trent!
Again and again I would keep seeing this author being recommended in a crime-related book Facebook group I’m in… So, I finally just checked with my library (through the Libby app) to see if they had any of her books available. I’m currently wait-listed on one of her newer books, The Good Daughter, but in the mean-time decided to borrow Triptych since it was available… and boy am I glad I did! Right off the bat I was sucked in and had a hard time putting this book down.
Triptych is book #1 of the series of 10 books (as of this post, at least). The series follows Will Trent who is introduced in this first book as a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent (GBI) who shows up to help Michael Ormewood , a police detective, investigate a series of local crimes. Karin Slaughter did a fabulous job creating the characters in this book it was like I was right along side them, to me it read like I was really watching it unfold as if it was a tv show or movie.
If I were to give this book a rating, I would give it a 4 to 4.5 star rating out of 5 stars. This book definitely started strong, luring me in right away, but there were a couple of moments that were a bit predictable at times. But Overall, I really enjoyed this book and was already seeking out the next book in the series (Fractured) before I even finished this first one! My library seems to have the e-book version of the entire series with the exception of the second book as well as the last book. So, I did go ahead and already ordered it from the bookstore. Now I’m eagerly awaiting is arrival!
The books in this series include:
- Triptych
- Fractured
- Undone
- Broken
- Fallen
- Criminal
- Unseen
- The Kept Woman
- The Last Widow
- The Silent Wife
I definitely recommend Triptych by Karin Slaughter and I do plan to read through the entire series & will continue to share my thoughts on each book, so be sure to check back, if you are interested! While I await for Fractured to arrive, I have started another book (also from the library Libby app), The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine. I’m only 4 chapters in on The Wife Stalker and its already grabbed my interest, so I’ll be sure to share my thoughts on that one too.
I’m also about halfway through the audiobook version of The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian. I’ve been listening to this while working in my craft room & so far so good. I look forward to the upcoming tv show starring Kaley Cuocco that’s based on the book!
Have you ready any of these books? Please share your thoughts! Also, I’m always open to new book suggestions if you have any recommendations!
