The Kept Woman

This was the first Karin Slaughter book I have read and I was excited about it. Unfortunately, this story didn't do it for me. I like a good mystery/police serial, but to capture me, there has to be a strong protagonist. Will Trent was not that. To me, he was the typical Beta male who was pining over his abusive and manipulative soon-to-be ex-wife...who also happens to be a criminal. I was waiting for him to “grow a pair”, which didn't happen until about 400 pages in. Definitely disappointing. I might try one of Slaughter's other books in the future, just not one involving Will Trent.
