About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A complicated spider web of secrets and tangles.”—Los Angeles Times
“A compelling look at how two flawed people work to overcome their shortcomings and combat pure evil.”—People
WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC • This edition features an introduction on the origins of the Will Trent novels
In the trauma center of Atlanta’s busiest hospital, Sara Linton treats the city’s poor, wounded, and unlucky—and finds refuge from the tragedy that rocked her life in rural Grant County. But then a tortured young woman becomes a patient in her ER. . . .
In the backwoods of suburban Atlanta, where Sara’s patient was found, local police have set up their investigation. But Georgia Bureau of Investigation detective Will Trent doesn’t wait for the go-ahead from his boss—he plunges through police lines, single-handedly exposing a hidden house of horror buried beneath the earth . . . and then finds another victim.
Wresting the case away from the local police chief, Will and his partner, Faith Mitchell, are called into a related investigation. Another woman—a smart, upscale, independent young mother—has been snatched. For the two cops out on the hunt, for the doctor trying to bring her patient back to life, the truth hits like a hammer: The killer’s torture chamber has been found, but the killer is still at work.
With Undone, Karin Slaughter weaves together the moving, powerful human stories of three unforgettable characters from her New York Times bestselling novels Faithless and Fractured, who collide for the first time in an electrifying race against the clock—and a duel with unspeakable human evil.

In rural Atlanta, a badly injured woman is hit by a passing car. We learn that the woman had been tortured. She is alive but in critical shape and didn't understand what she was doing when she walked into the path of the car.
Will Trent, a detective with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation goes to the accident scene and finds a cave where at least two women were tortured. The local police resent his intrusion in their case. They order him to leave but before he does he finds the second victim, another woman who recently died.
As I was reading this story, I was surprised by the number of similarities in plot between this 2009 novel and Lisa Gardner's novel, "Hide" which was published by Bantam, January 30, 2007.
Both novels have an underground space where the anagonist takes his victims. In "Hide" the area is called a chamber, in "Undone" it is a cave. The victims are either murdered or tortured in this place. Both novels have antagonists with a family connection to at least one victim. Both have antagonists who are in need of mental care. In both novels there is a compassionate police detective who has a no nonsense female associate.
I enjoyed both stories and they both had a surprise toward the novel's conclusion. However, the similarities in plot were distracting.
