The Unremarkable Heart by Karin Slaughter

The Unremarkable Heart by Karin Slaughter

The Unremarkable Heart is a short story, a teaser to make you want to read Karin Slaughter's full length novels coming out soon.

And you will want to read them because Karin Slaughter is a master story teller, capable of weaving believable tales in a manner that keeps you glued to the pages, wanting more.

The Unremarkable Heart can be read in under an hour, and tells the story of June Connor, who is dying of cancer. It is more her thoughts and feelings being divulged, with trips down memory lane of things her family have done in the past, all in the last few hours of her life.

Readers have described the first third of the story as depressing, but that it then suddenly gets really interesting and a fantastic tale is told, albeitly on the short side.
