MY REVIEW
YAY! I was so happy to get my hands on Cold, Cold Heart, A Short Story, by Karin Slaughter. I love her novels and I am curious to see if she can draw me in and leave me wanting more with this short story.
They couldn’t get past the tragedy, so after twenty years of marriage, she was on her own.
I wonder, is she out for revenge?
I love that she is her own person, doing the things she had denied herself to stay in shape. Don’t we all do that, wanting to look different, wanting our older bodies to look like it’s twenty?
She is strong, stronger than John, her ex.
And John, I really don’t like him. He’s a jerk and makes it easy not to like him! The more I read about him, the more pissed off I get! When you read about him, I think you will agree.
As morbid as the book gets, I can’t help but laugh at Pam’s thoughts, at times. To me that speaks to Karin Slaughter’s ability to write a great story.
OMG. I didn’t see that coming. I am really pissed now. What a…oh man, I can’t say it. I can’t give away too much. BUT, I so badly want to talk about my feelings of hatred and disgust.
I LOVE it. Cold,Cold Heart is filled with cruelty, vengeance and, at least for me, some laughter. The twisted ending left me with a smile on my face and a feeling of satisfaction.
I had some difficulty getting my review copy, but seeing it is Karin Slaughter, I broke down and bought it. I read it in an hour and it is worth the ninety nine cents I paid for it!

Synopsis
First comes love.
Then comes marriage.
Then comes revenge.
In this sensational short story from the bestselling author of The Kept Woman and Pretty Girls, fifty-two-year-old Pam has done her utmost as a loyal wife to her now ex-husband John. He dropped her cruelly . . . but with a terminal illness about to claim his life, Pam now sees an opportunity to settle the score, in a way that no one—not their children, not her ex, and certainly not the reader—will see coming . . .
Surprising, suspenseful, and diabolically clever, Cold, Cold Heart offers old fans and new readers alike a taste of the writer Gillian Flynn calls “one of the finest crime novelists at work today.”

I like a good thriller and a good short story. Gillian Flynn is an amazingly talented story writer, so if there’s a quote from her my interest is piqued. 🙂
She was right! 🙂
So, now I’m dying to know how she settles the score. I have a feeling it will be just what he deserves!
And then some. I couldn’t help but laugh!
What a satisfying shorty this sounds like. I do love novellas, helps fill the time and gives us instant gratification 🙂
I totally agree. It amazes me how authors can put so much in so little.
I smiled too, Sherry. Such a twisted fun story!
For sure. I love her writing and have been reading her work for years.
This sounds terrific and perfect for fall Sherry. Thanks for sharing 🙂
You betcha, Kimberly. 🙂
