Book Reviews from the Moon: Cop Town

Cop Town is the first book I’ve listened to by Karin Slaughter. I am now a fan for life. The obstacles that Kate Murphy faces on her first day in the Atlanta Police Department in 1974 are intense and she has a lot more to her character than first impressions suggest. I really liked her family and some of their interactions. Kate handles herself well in a time and place where women are definitely treated differently than their male counterparts. It’s almost impossible not to cheer for her as she faces killers and bullies. My favorite character, however, was Maggie Lawson, a five-year veteran of the police department who has the added burden of being part of a family with a long law enforcement tradition.

Anyone interested in reading or listening to Cop Town can see how intense in the basic subject matter of this book’s plot from the description, so I won’t go into that. I don’t like to do spoilers anyway. I will say that Slaughter’s research into law enforcement seems to be excellent. Karin Slaughter is now on my top five list of crime fiction novelists. I’ll be reading more books by her. (Kathleen Early did an excellent job narrating this book.)
