Karin Slaughter: Femme Fatale

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Karin Slaughter’s been hearing it for years: She writes like a man. Women authors like her don’t get called on the violence in their books nearly as much as men do. And she doesn’t look like someone who traffics casually in blood, guts and guns and the killers who use them.

“I guess I should be like 600 pounds with a beard or something, with lots of leather,” she says, “which would be scary.”

No thanks. Fractured, the second departure from her wildly popular Grant County series, is scary enough. The novel lifts characters from her previous non-Grant County work, Triptych, and drops them into a murder/rape/kidnapping in Atlanta’s tony Ansley Park neighborhood.
