Murder in Grant County, GA where a sadistic rapist attacks a blind college professor, leaving her in the bathroom of the local diner. She is found by Dr. Sarah Linton, pediatrician and coroner. A short time later another victim is left on Dr. Linton’s car.
This is the first novel, beginning a series featuring Dr. Linton, her ex-husband Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver and detective Lena Adams. Well written and plotted, if on the gorey side. Slaughter was obviously a fan of Emily Bronte, as the doctor’s mother is Cathy Linton and she has a cousin named Hareton Earnshaw - maybe Heathcliff shows up in a later book. That aside, I have volume 2, Kisscut in my queue. I do want to know if the doctor and her ex reconnect.
