Undone / Karin Slaughter / 436 pages

This is most definitely NOT a feel good story!  It is a riveting tale of man's inhumanity to man...and women who are at best difficult.  Karin Slaughter writes with a most unusual, captivating style,  as she sketches the characters in her novels, revealing their personalities and idiosyncrasies through their interactions with other characters.  It is almost as if the story is written from multiple points of view.  Faith, Will, Sara, and Amanda, her standards, and all the subsidiary characters in Undone are vividly real, ensnaring the reader in kidnappings, rape, brutality, murder, homosexuality, eating disorders, religious depravity, diabetes, pregnancy, and dysfunctional family dynamics.
