    Special Agent Will Trent is working undercover in Macon, Georgia. He’s putting his life on the line to help bring down a dangerous criminal and he’s lying to his girlfriend, Sara Linton, about where he is and what he’s doing because if she found out he doesn’t think their relationship would survive. Unfortunately, the truth has a way of finding its way the surface and when a young patrolman is attacked, Sara travels to Macon to support the family and face a woman she hoped never to see again. Can Will keep his job and his relationship separate?

    “Unseen” is the seventh book in the Will Trent series and I’m actually almost caught up with where I started some of the books in the wrong order so I’m looking forward to being fully up to date soon.

    The crime plot on this one takes up most of the time, which is definitely needed as it’s quite a complex plot. Slaughter also wrote it in a slightly different way. We come in to the story in the aftermath of a raid at a drug house. There is then a split timeline where we see what is happening currently and then the other timeline moves backwards so we get a little more information each time it goes back a little more. This was such an effective plot device and worked really well.

    As always with Slaughter’s books there were several twists along the way and I loved figuring some of them out and being surprised by others.

    There was still time for some development in the relationship between Will and Sara and I’m really enjoying seeing how their story began.

    I have been watching the Will Trent tv series as well now on Disney+ and whilst I have been enjoying that as well, every time I read one of the books now I find myself wishing they had included Sara Linton in the tv series. They’ve made a lot of changes but it is still good as far as crime dramas go.

    The problem with having read some books out of order is that some of the moments of danger and drama were a little lost on me as I obviously know how things work out from the later books in the series but that’s on me for reading them out of order.

    Overall, this was another excellent instalment in the series and I have no complaints at all.

    Agent Will Trent is working undercover in Macon, Georgia, current location of police officer Lena Adams. Lena is chasing Sid Waller, who runs a ‘shooting gallery’, a place where drugs are bought, sold and used. Will is trying to collar Tony Dell, who is running a pharmacunseen karin slaughtereutical pill-running operation. When the two cases collide, they do so bloodily and graphically. How pleased will Sara Linton, Will’s girlfriend, and Lena’s old partner’s widow, feel about this?

    If you’ve been following Karin Slaughter’s novels, you’ll enjoy this latest instalment. It shows greater insight into Will and Sara’s relationship and casts Lena in a new light. Equally, the crimes at the heart of the novel – a new sophisticated drug player in town along with missing children – is pacy and tightly drawn.

    Big Whitey is the Scarlet Pimpernel at the heart of the novel – the focus of an obsessed police officer (not Lena, for a change), his identity is so well hidden that no one is entirely sure he even exists. But as the number of dead police officers starts to rise, which is part of the legend of Big Whitey from other parts of the state and Florida, people start to change their minds.

    Is Will’s target, the vicious Tony Dell, Big Whitey? Has Will underestimated Dell as he stands at death’s door more than once in this novel? That proximity to death clarifies his relationship with Sara – for him. But is he too late? When Sara discovers Will’s been working around Lena and has kept it from her, she is wounded and breaks it off with him. As she says, she can take the strong, but not the silent any more.

    Equally, Lena’s relationship with Jared, Sara’s dead husband’s son (but not hers…. keep up!) is also at the heart of the novel. Lena’s pregnancy complicates her feelings about pretty much everything and the development of that story and her ongoing ability to do the wrong things for the right reasons humanises her in a way we haven’t fully seen before. I’d actually be curious if we see her again as a character …

    The title of the book, Unseen, makes sense on a number of levels – referring to the fact that so many missing children in the US (and elsewhere) are often living in other communities with their plights going ‘unseen’. Equally, Will’s work as an undercover agent means his ulterior motives are unseen by those he is forced to fraternise with. And, unseen is pretty much how he has felt for much of his life, considering his background growing up in a state home and his life since then. Until ….

    I enjoyed the book, with its dual focus on how, very often, all the cops aren’t exactly the best in town and even the worst character can surprise you with a humane move. It’s also an interesting look at how sophisticated the (legal and illegal) drug-selling scene is and, in this case, how it has become mixed up with the underground child porn world.

    All in all, an interesting addition to the series. I read elsewhere that Slaughter’s next novel is a return to policing in the 1970s, so who knows when we will see Will and Sara fighting the good fight again…

    Okay, so, Karin Slaughter has written 2 series of books. One watched a local sheriff, and his wife, while the other watched a profoundly dyslexic GBI agent and his girlfriend (a paediatrician). Both are set in the US state of Georgia.

    This book combines characters from both series, after a former Grant County police officer is shot, and the shooting is investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

    It’s a pretty decent read. There are some elements that don’t bear much consideration, but overall it rattles along at a decent clip.

    These are crime series by famous author Karin Slaughter. She has also been credited by many top American Newspaper for her writing and suspense. Some of her books have been converted into Crime TV series. Full of suspense once you start reading you get glued to the book.
    Considering her writing I went and purchased all her books of total 19 that were available.

    Those interested in Crime Stories I surely recommend these books by the author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Karin Slaughter dreht ihre Charaktere durch die emotionale Mangel
    Reviewed in Germany on 10 July 2013
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    Endlich ist Karin Slaughter zurück und bringt uns Fans diesen Sommer neben der üblichen Spannung auch eine gehörige Portion Herzschmerz mit.

    Wir alle haben ja mittlerweile so einiges mit diesen Charakteren durchlitten, daher kann sich die Autorin es leisten mal ein wenig in der Kiste zu graben und einige alte Wunden zu öffnen. Und das tut sie hier einer mit Hingabe, dass einem beim lesen das eine oder andere leise "Autsch" rausrutscht.

    Es beginnt mit einem krachenden Teaser: Lena Adams ist nicht nur zurück, unsere erste Begegnung mit ihr findet in ihrem Haus statt während sie versucht sich und ihren Mann Jared vor den Männern zu retten die gekommen sind um sie töten.

    Die Hintergründe für den Mordversuch könnten etwas mit dem Undercovereinsatz zu tun haben an dem Will gerade arbeitet. Von diesem Einsatz wiederum weiss aber Sarah nichts, die sich nichtsahnend auf den Weg nach Macon macht um Jareds Mutter beizustehen.

    Soweit, so verwickelt beginnt die Story und wer Karin Slaughter kennt, der ahnt bereits dass es erst schlimmer werden muss bevor es besser wird. Sarah, Will und Lena werden hier wirklich in die emotionale Mangel genommen und müssen einigen inneren Dämonen ins Auge blicken.

    Der Fall selbst ist ein weiteres Meisterstück aus verwinkelten Spuren die erst ins nichts führen und dann plötzlich doch einen Sinn ergeben. Auch hier sind einige emotionale Minen für den Leser gelegt.

    Zu viele Details würden hier den Spaß verderben, für Fans ist dieser Teil aber ein Muss.

    Alles in allem ist "Unseen" in meinen Augen eines der besten Slaughter Bücher seit Jahren. Slaughter hat durch die Konfrontationen die sie hier provoziert die Hauptdarsteller gezwungen lang schwelende Konflikte auszutragen und die Serie damit nur noch besser gemacht. Großartig!
