Faithless by Karin Slaughter

I read Faithless by Karin Slaughter very quickly. The blurb on the back of the book compares her books to those of Patricia Cornwell, and there were definitely some similarities. However, Cornwell's books have a limited number of main characters to track -- about 4-6. This book had more than 6 main characters to keep track of, which made it difficult sometimes to remember what was going on with each one when she switched from one point of view to another. Plus, if I recall correctly, sometimes Cornwell writes from the murderer's point of view; Slaughter simply writes from the good guys' perspective, except for the opening section.

Other than the large number of main characters to keep track of, this was a nice mystery. Definitely recommend this for a by the pool summer reading session.
