Karin Slaughter’s New Book

Hello Dear Reader, it is I, Karin Slaughter, here to tell you about my new book, FALSE WITNESS.

OHHHH, you have a new book? Tell me more!!!

FALSE WITNESS is a standalone story about two sisters who experience a horrific incident, and then are forced to come to terms with it when the past rears its ugly head. It is a twisty, turny, funny, and sad-y story (Sad-y! Yes, I said it and you know what it means and that, my friends, is what a WORD is). Also, there is violence, sex, cursing, shocking twists and turns, and everything else you magnificent readers have come to know and love from a Karin Slaughter book.

OK, so by “standalone” you mean NO WILL TRENT AND SARA LINTON?! You KNOW I love Will and Sara with the sparkling sparklies of 1,000 stars. And you KNOW I’ve been waiting to see if you-know-who and you-know-who will ever actually you-know-what! So, why should I even bother reading this new standalone novel then, huh???

It’s true, FALSE WITNESS does not feature Will Trent and Sara Linton, dear readers. But it does feature cats. Plenty of cats. And a dog named Sploot McGhee. A fish named Mr. Dar-Sea. And a cast of other four-legged, bipedal, and deux-clawed characters BUT BE NOT AFRAID, they are not crime-solving animals, that is up to the humans, and at the center of FALSE WITNESS is IN FACT a terrible crime! But maybe you don’t care about adorable cats and dogs and fishies. Maybe you are a weirdo like me who wants thrilling plot twists and stories that will keep you up Cyndi Lauper-style all through the night.

YES THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!!!

YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! But hey, I don’t wanna toot my own horn (though that’s basically what newsletter means in the original Latin), but folks are loving them some FALSE WITNESS. You need only rely on the words of my readers in the Netherlands & Belgium (where the book has hit the #1 bestseller spot!!!) and my readers in the UK (where the book has also hit the #1 bestseller spot!!!) and Ireland (also in the #1 spot!!!) who are saying very nice things about FALSE WITNESS like:

"WOW!!! What a book, I absolutely loved it" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Unbelievable book!! Absolutely loved this one"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"My favorite book of 2021" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Wow what a read!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I would recommend this book to anyone" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Did anyone else notice a stroopewafel stain on page 231 or was that my bad? And also..." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay, okay, you’ve convinced me. Now when can I get my own copy of FALSE WITNESS???

ALL RIGHT THAT’S SOME USEFUL INFORMATION BUT WHAT IF I AM JUST NOW EMERGING FROM MY CRUSTY SHELL AND WANT TO ACTUALLY SEE YOU IN PERSON???

****EVENT ALERT****

I am glad you asked, fellow crusty-sheller! I’ll be doing a REAL, LIVE, IN-PERSON EVENT at FoxTale Bookshoppe on Monday, July 19^th at 7PM ET. **Please note the Event Guidelines.** ALSO NOTE, this is my first in-person event in over a year, so I might be a bit more awkward than usual, but that could be half the fun! It’ll make me feel good to see you. It’ll also—I hope—make you feel good. And we can laugh and laugh about how we never, ever once considered knitting all that animal dander around the house into a sweater.

OKAY NOW GET TO THE PART WHERE YOU BEG ME TO GET ME SOME FALSE WITNESS NOW!!!

Listen, I know it’s been a tough year and time is now irrelevant and you may have completely transitioned into wearing sweatpants full time (ditto), but don’t forget that PRE-ORDERS ALWAYS MATTER. So take a moment to order a copy of FALSE WITNESS for yourself, one for your dad, one for your bestie, and one for your UPS driver (because those folks have been working double time and really deserve a good read). Also, take a photo of your pet with a copy of FALSE WITNESS and tag me on Instagram at @karinslaughterauthor and I’ll re-post.

Happy Reading Everyone! That’s it! Go pre-order or get yourself a copy of FALSE WITNESS!!!

Oh, I see you are still reading this and perhaps looking for the unsubscribe because you don’t remember signing up for my newsletter back when you were footloose and fancy-free and now you have responsibilities and I get it we are all adults but hey, why don’t you take a little time for yourself and enjoy some FALSE WITNESS? I am sure the kids won’t starve and the house will clean itself and your student loans will pay themselves off, and also I am 100% certain you need a reward after this horrific past year+ so why not treat yourself with some FALSE WITNESS?
