Quick Review – Triptych – Karin Slaughter
The Gods must be smiling on me today, because I finally read something good, Triptych, by Karin Slaughter. This may be my second favorite new author this year. Plus, I greatly appreciate her writing style. She actually tells a story. Why is this so much to ask? So many books I read are poorly written, or poorly plotted, or poorly edited, or overly critiqued. This book is none of those things. Instead we get an interesting story, with quietly compelling characters, and interesting twists and turns. Choosing and reading books, I think, is somewhat like playing golf. Every so often you get a hole in one, and you go through a lot of shit, hoping, just hoping to repeat that experience. It’s days like this, that slogging through all the crap seems worth it.
