Helpful Score: 1
Faithless is the fifth book in the Grant County series, which features pediatrician/medical examiner Sarah Linton and her ex-husband/current boyfriend/police chief Jeffery Tolliver. In this installment of the series, Sarah and Jeffery stumble across the body of a teenage girl who was buried alive. Their investigation leads them to discover the dark secrets of a fundamentalist religious sect living in their midst.
Unlike the earlier books, Faithless sacrifices relentless suspense for character. I wondered if Karen Harper co-authored this book secretly with Slaughter. (If you have read any of Harper's Amish mysteries you will know what I mean). The interesting parts of the book concern Lena, one of Jeffery's deputies, and Sarah's constantly evolving relationship with Jeffery. Because of this, I would not recommend this book as a good place to start for those who are unfamiliar with the Grant County series, but for fans it is worth the read just to learn what becomes of Lena and her abusive boyfriend Ethan.
