 Not value for money November 15, 2008
As a Karin Slaughter fan, I was ready to buy this when it was released. After seeing how many pages it was I didn't. In the end someone bought it for me as a gift. It's a fairly interesting short story although it's easy to work out it's all about Martin's mother. This isn't up to the standard you expect from Karin Slaughter. It isn't a crime thriller and the characters within the book are very stereotyped - I feel this also lets it down quite a bit. It isn't a funny book, but then it can't be serious either. It just leaves you wondering why you're reading it really.
 Short changed October 27, 2008
This 147 page book (17 of those are blank or nearly so) is little more than a short story. And hence it would be poor value for money even if it were up to Ms Slaughter's usual excellent standard.
Unfortunately, like Patricia Cornwell's Southern Cross / Hornet's Nest series, she should eschew humour and stick to the straight murder and small-town evil she does so well. Maybe the American sense of humour just falls flat this side of the pond, but apart from a few smiles in the first chapter I found it just wasn't funny. The characters are too grotesque to be even slightly believable.
dont bother October 23, 2008
dont even bother, i automatically ordered this from amazon as i have done all other books, had i seen it in the shop i wouldnt have bothered. just over 100 pages long and half an hour to read. what a rip off. i only gave it 1 star because i had to.Martin Misunderstood
Not up to scratch!! October 22, 2008
I was expecting more from this book as I have devoured everything else Karin Slaughter has written and cannot wait for the next adventure, however I felt this didn't have the usual spark, it was amusing and well written as always but was way too short, I got a shock when it finished, the relationships between the characters weren't developed and as others have stated, the book would have been great as part of a set of short stories. Roll on Grant County and tales of Sara and Lena!!!
Good story but not value for money October 19, 2008

OK, so where are the other short stories to make a book worth the list price. Ever had the feeling you've been duped by the publisher - you will if you buy this. This story would normally fit on 100 pages - they just drag it out with big typeset. What a pity as a book of short stories would have been good.
