Faithless

Hey Loves! Sorry it's been so long. I've been sick. Anyways, here's your next review


Faithless
Karin Slaughter
..

Faithless is from the point of view of three different characters. There's Sara, Jeffery, and Lina. Sara is the infertile children's doctor whose heart was stepped on by Jefferey when he cheated on her. Jeffery is the chief of police who is trying to win Sara back while he is dealing with traumatic stress from having to shoot a young girl. Lena is the hardened female cop who has an abusive boyfriend and recently had to make a life or death decision. Though these are all fascinating story lines they should be separated into two different books. Sara and Jeffery's story, then Lena's story. 


The ending of the book was disappointing for me. You knew who the bad guy was in the beginning but you hoped it wasn't him because it was so obvious. Now Slaughter tries to fix this with a scene including the apprehension of the criminal, but it just made it more depressing. This book brings up faith, drugs, spousal abuse, abortion, infertility, cheating, lying, killing, sex, prostitution, and torture. It may just be me, but it seems like a bit too much for one book. 


Overall, the book was not the best it could have been. I had hoped she would have stuck to the point of view of Sara, the first character introduced, but she did not. If you're looking for a murder mystery for the solving of the crime and back story, then this book is for you. However, if you're looking for a fast paced whodunit with no clue who the killer could be, I suggest you search elsewhere. 2 pearls.


Keep on Reading
