Thorn in My Side (Kindle Single)

I have read and loved many Karin Slaughter books but this is a complete waste of money. The story is complete rubbish and in only 50% of what you buy. The rest is a "preview" ie. the first chapter of her next book. I have no desire to pay twice for the same story and feel that this is a complete con. Both Ms Slaughter and Amazon should be ashamed!

I love reading books by Karin Slaughter and this was a massive let down, this was a waste of money and I wouldn't recommend buying it. Takes a whole new meaning to short story as it was read in about 15 minutes.

Very disappointed with this short story, very strange amount conjoined twins who commit murder..... Couldn't quite get my head around it really, would not reccommend

This is even shorter than I thought it was going to be as nearly half of it is the first chapter from her novel Fallen, which is definitely good but I've already read it. THORN IN MY SIDE has merit in that the concept and storyline itself are extreme and thought provoking, the consciousness of one conjoined twin's of another's evil, but it is crudely executed and comes to a clumsy conclusion.

The main sticking point for me is the lack of content for the price. Surely this could have been given away as an introduction to what it is really selling or added as a bonus chapter to her next book rather than the other way around?

Having read all of the previous Karin Slaughter books and really enjoyed them but this was a little odd to say the least. Would not recommend.

Waste of time and money. Not a complete book. Only a taster but that was not clear butler after the download. Won't rely in authors any more. Will check all the reviews first. Oh well, you learn the hard way.

Story had no ending. Nothing like her usual books very disappointed, wouldn't recommend to anyone who is expecting something like she usually writes

I love Karen slaughter and can't believe she wrote this short story , it just wasn't a Karen slaughter story , I really thought a guy had written it , i found it quite distasteful , it grossed me out to be truthfull , i really do not wish to think about conjoined twins toilet habits , it was just so wrong . Not recommend :-(

Not worth wasting time reading. I normally enjoy Karin slaughter book but this was rubbish. Don't bother wasting your time.

I have read most of the other short stories but this one was exceptionally short and rather an odd storyline and ending for that matter.
