E' il quarto romanzo che vede protagonista Sara Linton e Jeffrey Tolliver.
La trama scorre su due linee temporali che si alternano.
La prima, al presente, segue il sanguinoso assalto alla stazione di polizia di Grant, mentre la seconda segue il passato dei due protagonisti.
Nell'insieme è un po' pesante, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il flashback, sarebbe stato meglio accrescere la cronaca del presente.
Direi che è interessante solo per chi vuole approfondire la storia di Sara e Jeffrey; dopo questo libro (l'ultimo tradotto in italiano..) si passerà alla serie di Will Trent. ( )

"When medical examine Sara Linton and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver take a trip away from the small town of Heartsdale, should be a straightforward weekend at the beach. But they decide to take a detour via Jeffrey's hometown and things go violently wrong when Jeffrey's best friend Robert shoots dead an intruder who breaks into his home."
I am a big fan of Ms. Slaughter's work but found this particular book difficult to get through. It may be the constant flashbacks to when Sara and Jeffrey first began dating then flashing forward to the current state of affairs. It was a compelling story but just did not like the way it was put together. ( )

El policía Jeffrey Tolliver regresa a Sylacauga, un pequeño pueblo en el centro de Alabama. Nunca lo debería haber hecho. Vuelve para enseñarle a su nueva novica, la forense Sara Linton, el lugar en el que nació y presentarle a su madre. Pero el pasado se le reaparece como una maldición: una vieja acusación de violación y asesinato, la detención de su íntimo amigo de la infancia por un homicidio por celos, el descubrimiento de un viejo cadáver, el odio de sus vecinos... Tan sólo la presencia de la forense y de Hoss, el viejo sheriff que le salvó de la violencia de su padre, parecen ir a su rescate. Pero en Sylacauga todos mienten... nada es real, excepto las evidencias con las que Sara descubrirá quién es realmente el verdadero Tolliver.

Fourth in Karin Slaughter's Grant County series, INDELIBLE is two stories. Both are about Jeffrey Tolliver, chief of Grant County police, and Sara Linton, pediatrician and Grant County coroner. A little more than halfway through the book you’ll learn that one other person is common to both stories as well.

Sara is visiting Jeffrey at the police station when two armed men suddenly appear and hold hostage everyone there. No one knows why.

Now cut to another story 10 years ago. Sara and Jeffrey had not been seeing each other for long. They decided to vacation together in Florida, but on the way Jeffrey decided to stop by the town where he grew up. And what a nightmare that turned out to be!

Both stories are told at the same time in alternating chapters. Both stories are tense and make this a true mystery/thriller. My only criticism is that, in one of the stories, in three instances, someone gives a full confession. That felt a little contrived to me, although I guess you could say that all fiction is contrived. ( )

This book is different from the other ones in this series and, for me, not quite as good. It starts off with a bang - no pun intended - but then does a flashback scene. I did not find that storyline as interesting but we later see that it provides the backstory for things that are happening in present day. This entry was also not as gory as some of her other books but there is definitely a lot of drama going on - almost too much. A solid installment for the Grant County series and I look forward to reading the last two books. ( )
