Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter (Grant County, Book 1)

A young college professor has been mutilated and killed in the restroom at a local diner in a small Georgia town. Only after Sara Linton, the town’s pediatrician and part-time ME, conducts the autopsy will the full extent of the heinous crime become known. Then, another young woman from the college is found crucified on the hood of Sara’s car outside of the hospital.

Sara’s ex-husband, Jeffrey Tolliver, is Chief of Police and is leading the investigation into these deaths. What he doesn’t know is that these crimes have a link to Sara’s past…

The crimes are described in explicit detail and are definitely not for the squeamish. The story is well written. The characters are interesting and draw you in (even when you want to shake Lena for being such a pain). Blindsighted is a great first book for the Grant County series by Karin Slaughter.
