A very good display of how things were back in the 70's in the Atlanta Police Department.

I’ve been reading Karin Slaughter for a couple of years now. I previously read a few of her books from the Will Trent series and have always appreciated her deft integration of character and plot. This, the first standalone from the author, was a pretty solid effort. Like her other books, this one...

I am a little behind in my reviews. Not because I haven’t been reading, but because I’ve been reading so much I haven’t taken any time to stop and write things down.

Cop Town is one of my favourite books of the year so far. A standalone novel, set in 1970's Atlanta. At times it's brutal, female police are not respected or wanted by the male officers. Maggie has been an officer for a while and is partnered with Kate who is in her first week. I loved both of these...

Full review later, but brutal, exciting and certain parts of it I'm beyond horrified. Highly recommended.

This book is vile, racist, anti-women, homophobic, violent, contains foul language and characters of corruption and pure evil. It is also a ripping good story. The main characters are police women (and men) in 1974 Atlanta, Georgia. If you remember 1974, you will recognize the casual racism and ethn...
