Serial murders in Atlanta are something
new, but the fact that the victims are prostitutes and low in social ranking
typically are not high on the police radar.
This changes idea with Officer Angie
Polaski. Angie is a beautiful and tough
cop and considers the atrocities done on the victims inexcusable.
Another officer, Mike Ormewood, doesn’t
see the problem as one needing high priority.
He has other problems of his own.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation
sends their man, Agent Will Trent. Trent
has a steady and hidden personality, a tough nut for Angie to crack.
In walks the next most important person,
Jon Shelley, in the solving of the murders.
Actually, he walks out of the state prison after paying his dues for a
murder.
Jon develops a crush on Angie, Mike
hates Jon, Trent has a conflict with Mike’s personality, and Angie’s curiosity
about Trent leads to a deep interest.
What a dilemma. It’s nearly as much a mystery to solve the
murders as it is who will end up dating who.
I loved this story. It had a unique development of the plot and
the characters mixed in turbulence similar to a blender. The only thing I didn’t like was the title of
the story. Triptych? I looked up the
title and found it to define an artistic picture split into three frames. I seriously did not want to think hard and
figure the meaning and how it related to the story other than a character
having a triptych on their wall, which ultimately was mentioned once and had little
to do with the novel. Choosing this story
had only to do with the fact that the author has always given me a great read!
Happy
reading,
Dawn
