Blindsighted

By: Karin Slaughter

Narrated by: Kathleen Early

A small Georgia town erupts in panic when a young college professor is found brutally mutilated in the local diner. But it's only when town pediatrician and coroner Sara Linton does the autopsy that the full extent of the killer's twisted work becomes clear.

Sara's ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, leads the investigation -- a trail of terror that grows increasingly macabre when another local woman is found crucified a few days later. But he's got more than a sadistic serial killer on his hands, for the county's sole female detective, Lena Adams -- the first victim's sister -- want to serve her own justice.

But it is Sara who holds the key to finding the killer. A secret from her past could unmask the brilliantly malevolent psychopath .. or mean her death.

Gruesome mystery.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it's my first Karen Slaughter book and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a perfect mix of gruesome and mysterious.

Blindsighted blindsided me

I usually really like Karen Slaughter's writing. Her attention to detail, character development and imagery is well done. However, it went way to far in this book.....detail and imagery became down right disturbing and distasteful. Don't say you weren't warned!

Not her best work

I struggled to understand the character's motivation. Violent scenes occurred for shock value, no depth.

Love the Grant County Series

This is the beginning of the Grant County Series. And for me a serious love affair. This was one of my favorites. A great murder mystery with a small tad of romance in it. Just enough to get you hooked for the next story.

Dark, Twisty, Gruesome. Exc Narrator

Where does Blindsighted rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Could be disturbing for those sensitive to the topic of rape. Aside from that, the story keeps you guessing who the monster is doing this. Narrator did a great job. I like thriller/horror stories. Not so much ones that contain such mutilation though. Hoping this author has others without because she is talented in her writing.
