Fractured by Karin Slaughter
5.0
So I read Fractured by Karin Slaughter in a day. You know those times when you get some popcorn and watch a scary movie alone at night and you are just stuffing the popcorn in your face, not blinking at the TV screen. Yeah, that is how I am when I read any Karin Slaughter book. This time, instead of popcorn it is a red velvet bundt cake.
This is the second book in the Will Trent Series. In true Karin Slaughter fashion, it starts off with the brutal murder of a teen girl. Will Trent and his boss Amanda are brought in to assist the police department. However, after a thorough examination of the crime scene. One girl is dead, but another girl named Emma may have been kidnapped. Will Trent usually works alone, but he is assigned a partner in this case. Faith Mitchell’s mother was involved in an investigation ran by Will Trent. So emotions are tense between the two, but there is no doubt they make a good team. Can they find the murderer and save Emma in time?
One thing I always appreciate with Karin Slaughter books is that I am never disappointed. I never find her books predictable either. This book especially! I found myself shocked more than once. This book has excellent twists, turns, and diversions. The suspense kept me up until 1 am until I finished the book. There is not one moment where I thought the book is dull or slow. I was fully engaged from the beginning. So much so, it took every bit of control I possess to not get up, go to the library, and get book 3 called Undone. But my TBR is calling my name.
Anyway, as always, I love Will Trent. I think Faith Mitchell is going to be a great partner for him. He is dyslexic and struggles with being open about it. However, his observation in crime scenes is off the charts. He is such a brilliant character.
One thing about these books, if you are not into violence, this may not be the book for you. Karin Slaughter is very descriptive about the crime scenes. I actually appreciate that aspect, because it makes me feel like I am there and a part of the investigation. Anyway, 5 out of 5 stars from me!
