A Killer Introduction to The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter

This summer, we’re trading cozy mysteries for a deep dive into suspense—and The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter delivers. In this episode of My Mysterious Book Club, we crack open book eight in the Will Trent series (yes, we’re starting in the middle!) and explore the gritty, gripping world of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

A dead ex-cop. A trail of blood. A missing woman. And Will Trent—already entangled in the case by more than just duty.

From the claustrophobic prologue to the sweltering Atlanta crime scene, we examine first impressions, character dynamics, and the reader reactions (from five-star fan rants to one-star frustration). What’s the deal with Angie? Is this mystery more soap opera than suspense? Or is it the perfect summer thriller?

Grab your fan and a tall glass of sweet tea—we're sweating it out in this one.
