Skin Privilege by Karin Slaughter


Find this book at your library

Genre - Mystery


The author’s books are great for many reasons, but what immediately spring to mind are the characters. These people are really screwed up, and none so more than my favourite, Lena Adams. This novel takes us out of Grant County where Lena is suspected of a brutal murder. And she’s flown the coop. This is a woman who doesn’t want to be saved, yet seemingly doesn’t want to save herself either. And the people populating her hometown…yep, they’re screwed up, too. They keep family secrets, they’re big on drugs, and skinheads unfortunately abound.

But what’s most surprising about this novel? The final page. Don’t spoil it for yourself, readers. All I’m saying is that there better be another book in this series, because I need closure!
