Broken
by Karin Slaughter
It is pretty obvious by now that I have become quite obsessed with Karin Slaughter. I am currently reading her Will Trent Series. Broken is book 4 in the series. This book begins with a character that has already been introduced, Dr. Sara Linton. She is coming home for the first time in years and is haunted by her husband’s murder. Grant County is small and the police protect themselves. When a young woman’s body is pulled from the lake, an arrest is made, but the suspect kills himself in his cell. Dr. Sara Linton knows the detectives are protecting each other and that the real killer is still out there. So she calls Will Trent to help investigate.
One thing I love about Karin Slaughter is that she is not afraid to take her books to the next level. Her characters, plot, and twists are complex. Every detail is important and has meaning. This book is even more interesting because it starts to dive into Sara Linton’s past-which is apparently the focus of the Grant series. (I already added it to my TBR.) There is more to Sara than meets the eye. She has a dark past, that continues to haunt her future. I love how both Will and Sara have to peel back all the layers of this community to discover the secrets. Every character seems connected, but the conclusion is not predictable.
Will Trent as always, is fabulous. This book really shines a light on his chemistry with Sara, even though he is still married to Angie. UGH! Angie has been gone for months, she only comes around when she needs Will. Needless to say, I am not a fan of her… *ahem* ANYWAY. Will still struggles to keep his struggles with dyslexia under wraps. But without his partner, his struggles start to reveal themselves to Sara.
The only letdown in this book for me is the lack of Amanda Wagner. She is my favorite in this series and I really missed her in this book, good thing she is in the next book. I did miss Faith too, but she will be back in the next book as well. So as always, Karin Slaughter knocked it out of the park for me. 5 out of 5 stars!
