FALLEN by Karin Slaughter ****

Very convoluted long drawn out novel for a very simple plot. There are plenty of female cops involved, you wonder all thru the book what exactly the fuck is going on because there's teenagers, drugs, a drug mule, shootings of multiple people by each other, even. Kidnapping, children be-gotting, I mean wow how can someone come up with so many red herrings throughout an entire novel to be actually telling one simple little story? Got me but here it is.

The kids are all fucked up because mom or dad left them, or they got knocked up at 14 or some other parental nightmare so if you have a teenager you may not want to read about someone else's charming little nail biter.

Anyways, lots of characters in the beginning you have to jump in and get hold of all their names, first and last, relationships who's with whom and why and why do you care. Cops have relationships with each other for years and know the life stories of each other and have people to call whenever they need something. At one point you think one of them is a dirty cop following fake clues but really that's how the entire thing is written. You are mostly confused and keep reading to unravel your confusion. It's a ploy of sorts. That's my take. Find it at the library.
