A crime procedural book with it's own take on it. Broken Dolls was just such a lot of fun!
The Plot consists of a psychopath who abducts women, tortures them and sets them free after a lobotomy.... Yeah not for the faint of heart actually. The police force now ask for the help of PI Jefferson Winter and his expertise in order to track this guy down, before he can strike again.
This book was a brilliant read! It's fast paced, quirky and has a lotta good humor as well. [a:James Carol|7180350|James Carol|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1425069426p2/7180350.jpg] knows how to build suspense. We feel it at the end of every chapter and it's insanely tough to put this book down. Semester exams be screwed, this was worth it.
Jefferson Winter is up on the list of favorite detectives for sure. We get insight into his thinking and how he analyses each person based on small quirks we hardly notice normally. There are even moments when he goes full Sherlock and has these slow-mo (personal opinion), third person visualizations of what happened in a crime scene. So satisfying.
This book surprised me with it's lack of cliches'. I tried to guess how the story was going to go or what was going to happen next but I was almost always wrong.

Bring on the sequel!
