Triptych
Triptych: (Will Trent / Atlanta series 1) | Karin Slaughter
438 posts | 169 read | 2 reading | 76 to read
The first Will Trent novel, from the No. 1 Bestseller. When Atlanta police detective Michael Ormewood is called out to a murder scene at the notorious Grady Homes, he finds himself faced with one of the the most brutal killings of his career: Aleesha Monroe is found in the stairwell in a pool of her own blood, her body horribly mutilated. As a one-off killing it's shocking, but when it becomes clear that it's just the latest in a series of similar attacks, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are called in, and Michael is forced into working with Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Apprehension Team - a man he instinctively dislikes. Twenty-four hours later, the violence Michael sees around him every day explodes in his own back yard. And it seems the mystery behind Monroe's death is inextricably entangled with a past that refuses to stay buried ...

I finished Holly today. Stephen King is one of my all time favorites. 10/10 recommend. Next up, Triptych. 📚❤️

LeslieO I‘ve never read the books but I LOVE the TV series. 6mo
BooksCoffeeNurse @LeslieO Interesting. I‘ve never seen it! 6mo
MissyD I‘m working on Holly. I like it. But the parts when Holly talks about covid….not loving so much. I read to to escape reality. 6mo
BooksCoffeeNurse @MissyD Yes, I agree. And there is a lot of COVID talk and political talk. But the story, aside from all that, was good. ☺️ 6mo
MissyD @BooksCoffeeNurse I‘m going to try to stick it out. (edited) 6mo

I‘ve wanted to start the Will Trent series for a while and I finally read the first book and I loved it! Karin Slaughter is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I definitely plan to read the rest of series!

Okay, so I have said it before, but I really mean it this time...this is the last Karin Slaughter novel I plan to read. The mystery in this one is more interesting than some of her others, but it lacks the strong sense of place I crave and relies too much on gore and sexual violence at the expense of character development, so I'm not inclined to read the other books in the series.

Lizpixie This wasn‘t my favourite Trent either, but if you persevere they get really good! 8mo
Shemac77 I‘ve read them all and now listening on audible. I‘m a huge fan of this series but the audible version wasn‘t great. I‘m hoping they get almost as good on audible as they are in print. Fingers crossed! @Lizpixie 8mo
Lizpixie Have you read the new one yet? It‘s really dark but soooo good! 8mo

This one was definitely a little twisted and twisty! The reveal part way in was a good one.

My first Karin Slaughter and I really enjoyed it! The story was really captivating and I liked the way characters were introduced both thinly and indepth at the same time. It left me feeling like the next books I will get to know them even more. The violence in this book was described in detail. The storyline was skillfully broken so that it didn't feel like one of those cliché thrillers where you can guess the ending after the first page.

Holy cow, y‘all. I have not loved a book this much in a while. The characters were so personable and dynamic, I loved them all. The plot was kept so fresh and twisty despite it being another crime/murder mystery novel. The execution of all the shocking reveals and plot twists was expertly done. This book has officially made me a true Karin Slaughter fan 🤘🏼I can‘t say enough how much I loved the experience this book gave me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Liatrek Loved this book and me a fan of the author too. The series is pretty good. 12mo

This book was selected at random for me during an impulse trip to B&N. After reading one of her newer novels, Pieces of Her, I‘m finding myself very excited to dive into this one. It seems her writing style fits her in a way that is unique and I was entranced by her storytelling, so I hope this book will have the same effect. This is also the second to last book before I finish my March 2023 reading goal!

This in an older serial murderer book. There are a lot of moving pieces here, but the most interesting thing about it, is that it introduces Will Trent, who you might be watching on tv. There‘s a lot of his back story, and his friend Angie‘s too. I liked the characters but the story is kind of meh.

“From Atlanta‘s wealthiest suburbs to its inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. Working the case are Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career and Angie Polaski, a vice cop who was once Michael‘s lover before she became his enemy. Unbeknownst to them, a loser ex-con has stumbled on the killer‘s trail and may be the key to breaking the case.”

Slaughter writes a good thriller. The murders are brutal and the chase for the killer is twisty with several surprises as the tale unfolds. It takes a while to get its footing, but that‘s not surprising for the first book in a series. I‘ll definitely pick up the next, but (and I know this is blasphemous) I may like the TV show better, at least for now. This has one of my least favorite plots and I‘m horrified and sickened by the crimes in it.

Bk4 of #JumpStart2023 is done! A reread, it‘s the 1st in her Will Trent series & was just as fabulous the 2nd time round. I‘d call it Trent 0.5 really as he‘s not the MC of the book, it‘s told from multiple POVs including his, Angie‘s & another Atlanta cop. A woman is found dead, mutilated & raped which at first is written off as one of her johns, until Trent links it to 3 other vicious rapes. #BookspinBingo #Booked2023 #WronglyIncarceratedMC 👇

After trying a few new books and none taking, I‘ve decided to try a reread of the Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter. The new series isn‘t available in Aus, unless you do the whole VPN pretending you‘re in the US thing, which I cannot confirm or deny that happened😉but it seems alright. Not sure about Angie though, she‘s not psychotic enough yet. #JumpStart2023

5feet.of.fury I agree about Angie! But she wasn‘t TOTALLY awful for a couple books… I‘m wondering if they are going to change that for TV & give more of her perspective… 1y

Okay— who has read this series, Will Trent? Episode 1 has me interested, now that I know there is a book series, I would love to hear your thoughts. Because, this man here is a whole neurodivergent snack🤩

swishandflick My all-time favorite crime fiction character! I haven't tried the show because the vibe seems WAY off looking at the pictures and trailer. The real Will Trent is not that polished. 1y
swishandflick Though, PS, her Grant County series has characters that ultimately cross over into the Will Trent universe. So I'd personally recommend reading that series first so the complicated back stories make sense! (edited) 1y
5feet.of.fury I agree with @swishandflick about starting with Grant County! I watched the first ep, and I liked it. But the books are much grittier, Karin has said that book Will Trent and TV Will Trent are not the same Will. So I‘m trying to judge them each on their own merits 1y
Liatrek I love the Will Trent book series and didn‘t realize until I was a few books in that I should of read the Grant County series first. I haven‘t watched the show because the trailers really didn‘t seem to be anything like the book like @swishandflick said. But maybe I‘ll give it a try 🙂 1y
ShananigansReads I literally picked up the book because of trailers of the show. Might read another before watching cause Will shared the spotlight in this one. 1y

Anyone else watched? The only casting I thought they really nailed was Amanda. & Angie had the Angie vibe. I didn‘t find it to be as quirky as they made it on the previews, but not as gritty as the books. But, it‘s ABC not HBO. Good so far though. I‘ll be watching.

That was truly awful, and I had to force myself to finish it. I have no idea why this book has such rave reviews.

It was multilayered, but very, very boring! I was indifferent to all the characters. Some parts were so scoffingly unbelievable. The book did not flow, and the writing was rather jarring.

Steering well clear of any Karin Slaughter novels from now on

#BestMidYear22 Day 6: Slaughter's initial entry in her Will Trent series, published between the penultimate & the final book of the Grant Co series, shows how Slaughter has matured as a writer with her confident voice & intricate plotting. Immediately pulled in, per usual with Slaughter's novels, I inhaled this dark & twisted story. I haven't read the second book in the Trent series yet, but it's only due to too many books and not enough time.

CoverToCoverGirl Her books are the darkest I‘ve ever read. I cautiously recommend her to everyone. 2y

In the inaugural volume of the Will Trent series a woman is found brutally murdered in the stairwell of an apartment complex. GBI officer Will Trent is brought in to advise local PD & notices a potential connection to other recent crimes. Meanwhile, John a recently paroled murderer is trying to adjust to life on the outside when strange things start happening to him. A propulsive page turner, filled with surprises. Dark & twisted. Published 5👇

vivastory years after her debut work Blindsighted, I can see how she has grown as a writer. More ambitious & narratively complicated than the earlier installments in Grant Co (which I still love), I am eager to read more in this series. 2y

what an opening story. Poor Will, he's been through absolute hell and yet he's determined to help others. I like that he has flaws but that he works hard not to be called out for them. His relationship with Angie is interesting and does justify things you see in later books. The plot itself is really clever and although you know early on who is behind it, i like how it all slowly comes together. I love Will even more so after this one. 5*

#scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter

This was twisted. I started reading Will Trent at “Undone” and heave read all the subsequent, this was an interesting trip back in time. The story of a serial rapist/murderer crossing decades, race, class, age boundaries with one telltale signature. Following Will, Det. Ornewood, an ex-con, and Vice cop Angie Polaski who finds herself caught in the middle as they seek out the killer.

Since I finished The Grant County series for #SeriesRead2021 I had to jump into the Will Trent ASAP.

This is an excellent start to another brutal Slaughter series full of unexpected twists and lots of dark, gritty actions. After reading other books by this author you'd think I'd be prepared for the violence, but Slaughter is a master of her craft and paints a very vividly sadistic image with her words.

I can't wait to see what happens next.

I had been warned that Triptych was violent. I was not prepared for it to be so unrelentingly, brutally, and graphically violent. Mystery/thriller is my favorite genre. I get that a degree of violence is often part of the deal. Slaughter went to a wildly unreasonable extreme. This story could have been told with even more mystery/surprise (and better character and plot development) without the constant assault.

This first in the Will Trent series has been on my list to read for quite some time. I waited for the #audiobook on #libby for ages. This is a typical Karin Slaughter read, but it was nice to see the origins of the characters I've come to know in later books. Grit and her trademark gore abound. Also, is anyone as they seem? #thriller

This is a very entertaining book. Its gritty, gory and fascinating.Will Trent,the main character is very unique, have not come across such a character in a long time. The story takes it time but once you are in it, it is very engaging. Triptych touches on every nightmare one could think of - prison life, drug abuse, rape, child abuse.The writer lets the horrors seep in, reveals secrets at the right time.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Onto the next one!!

This is the first book in Will Trent series and it has not disappointed. This book has enough twists to keep you interested. As usual, Karin's attention to detail especially with crime scenes is very harrowing and disturbing.
