#Sara Linton

[jacnaylor]

ok so i don't talk about books that much on here even though it's literally my primary hobby...(i've read 335 this year anyway) today i remembered a random fact about my favourite book ship. will trent x sara linton (from the will trent series by karin slaughter) is quite literally one of my favourite ships of all time. he's socially inept (he had quite literally a horrendous childhood and never learnt how to talk to people) anyway he makes sure to put a note in his calender every time sara is getting her hair done so he knows to say something nice to her. he's severely dyslexic (he painstakingly taught himself how to play guitar and how to restore a vintage car. the car took him literal years because he can't just like read the instructions, he has to figure it all out himself pretty much.) but he teaches himself how to french plait his girlfriends hair.

there's a lot more to it than that. but the point is they are one of my favourite fictional romances of all time. but because it's not like, tv, i don't really mention it on here. but i should! because! romance of all time!

So I saw an ad for "Will Trent" when I was watching a different show, an went "oh yeah, ok i'll watch an episode of a detective show. my fave." So I did. And I liked it enough to watch the second episode. And went "based on a book series huh? bet." And now I have a pile of books on my coffee table.

The thing is. The thing is see, I'm aromantic (among other things). I have historically *hated* crime/detective series that have to have a romantic subplot thread throughout them as an overarching story (my favorites in this genre are "Columbo" and the original Sherlock Holmes stories so uh. yeah.). I have stopped watching/lost interest in more than one series when the romance started taking center stage.

But.

I got to "Fallen". And. CW for self-harm but, well.....:

"You know, one of the things Angie said to me the other night was that I would never do that for you - never cut myself like that - and I think she's right." There was a sadness in his smile. "Not because I don't care about you, but because you would never put me in that kind of situation. You would never ask me to make that choice."

.....

"Sara felt her mouth open in surprise. She was just as guilty as the rest of them. She had been so desperate for Will to fight for her that it had never occurred to her that Will was waiting for Sara to fight for him."

..............

And like. Listen y'all. I'm gonna be, SO NORMAL about this just SO ABSOLUTELY NORMAL it's fine I'm totally fine.

Today I am sharing my thoughts on the brand new Will Trent & Sara Linton thriller from Karin Slaughter, This Is Why We Lied. I came late to this series but have loved playing catch up, and these are two brilliant characters. You’d think after the last book Karin Slaughter might go a little easier on them both, but then where’s the fun in that for us? My thanks to publisher HarperCollins for teh…

I couldn't find a playlist that used the Winter Soldier's activation code so I simply made one. Working in these restraints was actually very fun and I have to say, I'm incredibly proud of this one. I feel like all the songs I picked for his words work both musically and lyrically and the order of the other ones was picked very deliberately as well. Normally this kind of rant goes in the tags but I wanted to include it here to ask that if you ever listen to a playlist of mine from start to finish, make it this one :D

Guest Review: This is Why We Lied by Karin Slaughter

This is Why We Lied

Will Trent Book 12

Karin Slaughter

William Morrow Pub

August 20th, 2024

This is Why We Lied by Karin Slaughter is a book that has all the trademarks including twists, and intensity. A word of warning there is child abuse, domestic violence, brutal treatment of women, incest, substance abuse, and rape as part of the story, but it is done in a very empathetic way for the victims.

“The them of the book is about safety. Mercy never felt safe.  Sara felt safe because of her family and Will.  The realization for Will is that he can trust Amanda, Faith, and Sara. He has a support system he never had as a child. The victim was in an abusive relationship, and I wanted to show how someone in an abusive relationship lives with no one to turn to, no one to help them, and in complete isolation.”

The plot has GBI investigator Will Trent and medical examiner Sara Linton, going to McAlpine Lodge to celebrate their honeymoon. Set on a gorgeous, off-the-grid mountaintop property, it’s the perfect place to unplug and reconnect. Until a bone-chilling scream cuts through the night. They investigate and find out that Mercy McAlpine, the manager of the Lodge, is dead. With a vicious storm raging and the one access road to the property washed out, the murderer must be someone on the mountain. But as Will and Sara investigate the McAlpine family and the other guests, they realize that everyone here is lying. 

“It was a locked lodge mystery.  I go up to my cabin in the North Georgia mountains when I write my books. I want to lean into it to write about the woods and the mountains. Of course, I must bring in a murder and not have people just being happy. Sara is comfortable in the woods, while Faith hates it. Sara and Will see nature as beautiful and amazing.  Faith complains about there being too many birds, the heat, not to mention how many mosquitoes.  She is not an outdoor person by any stretch.”

Every member of this family is despicable. They are cold, unfeeling, manipulative, abusive, and controlling.  There are suspects galore because almost everyone in the story, not just the family, has some sort of motive to kill Mercy. 

“The title of the book becomes so appropriate because everybody is lying.  Some lie because they want to be helpful and exaggerate. But exaggeration is a lie.  Some are hiding something that has nothing to do with the crime. Some are lying because they know about the crime and are complicit.”

The story unfolds through the dual points of view from Will and Sara. Mercy's point of view and backstory are revealed in the letter entries written to her son over the years that chronicle her mental and physical abuse as well as the resentment festering within her toxic family.

“Women like her tend to be presented in black and white. She needed to get away from her family, protect her son, break the cycle of abuse, and get away from her lover, Dave. As readers find out more about her, they will realize she has no money, no friends, no place to live, no driver’s license, and no car. Questions to explore: if in that situation could someone walk away and take their child with them? For Mercy the answer is no.  Dave has always pulled her back each time.  For her, it is easier to just give in and stick with the devil she knows. She is really cut off from the world.  She makes bad decisions for herself. She does not feel anyone is looking out for her. She is very aware that her job is to protect her son and not the other way around.”

This is a great crime procedural.  As Faith, Will’s police partner, says about the crime, “an Agatha Christie locked-room mystery with a VC Andrews twist.”

Another great Will Trent story from Karin Slaughter ! #bookreview #mysterybooks #books

Check out my review :

[spacewarriorsam]

Oh. I have another idea for a Will Trent episode and it involves Will meeting up with Sara Linton and together with Faith solve a crime together

[aloysaviorofmeridian]

listen I know literally no one cares but will Trent having really hot sex scenes with Angie and then literally getting on his knees in the middle of the doctor's lounge and eating Sara Linton out is hot and peak literature but WHY did we never get a hot sex scene of will and Sara doing it for the first time. Literally why the sexual tension and fade to black it's haunting me
