Alles van Karin Slaughter

Samenvatting

A darkly comic tale about Mr Less-Than-Average in an average world. Crime fiction obsessive Martin Reed is the proverbial butt of everyone's jokes. Working as a glorified accountant at Southern Toilet Supply and still living with his cantankerous mother, he has become resigned to the world in which he lives - the school bullies now pick on him in the workplace, women still spurn him and his arch enemy is now his supervisor. But then he arrives at work one morning to find the police on site. A co-worker has been brutally murdered and her body abandoned in a ditch. And the overwhelming evidence points to Martin - especially when he can't or won't admit that he has an alibi. When a second victim is found in the company bathroom, things really conspire against Martin. The one bright star on his otherwise bleak horizon is the beautiful and sympathetic Detective Anther Albada, but even she's beginning to have her doubts about his innocence. Could Martin be guilty? Or is he just misunderstood?

Really funny crime novel
- pdoornb

Geschreven bij Martin Misunderstood

This reader thought Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen were the only authors able to combine crime with humor. This slim book is my first acquaintance with KS. I found it well paced and very funny. I googled for reviews and found a world of die-hard followers up in arms, because it failed to meet expectations. Too short, not value for money.
“MM” appears to have been commissioned in Holland to promote the 2008 “Week of the Crime Novel”, as a free gift for people buying crime novels. It is situated, as usual in Georgia, USA.
KS seized the chance to write freely while staying within the genre with both hands and with relish. No American cliché or prejudice is spared and fellow crime writers are commented on by Martin during his ordeal. Who is Martin? Since birth, poor Martin has been a totally unattractive and unappealing person, hen-pecked, criticized, pestered at school, at work and at home. He still lives with his mother, who is a foul-mouthed sociopath and a constant pain for Martin. Whose only solace is reading crime novels. He owns thousands…
Then, two murders occur in quick succession among Martin’s female colleagues…
KS ignores or upsets the boundaries of crime writing with sloppy police work and Martin falling in love with his very weird interrogator An Albada. On death row, poor Martin is happier than ever before. He knows he is innocent, but basks in the respect of his fellow inmates.
This is a spoof, a caricature, but a very cruel and funny one in which crime writing is turned upside down. Is it all in good taste? No! Very cheap second-hand. Recommended.
