Broken Dolls by James Carol
5.0
After reading a stand alone novel by this author that literally blew me away, I knew I had to read more.
Broken Dolls is our first introduction to Jefferson Winters who used to work for the FBI and is now working freelance. What an introduction to a new character and a new series as well!
I love love, love, love, LOVED Jefferson. He is a bit of a bad boy in that he does what he wants. I had to laugh at a few incidences in the story where he is told to do one thing or that he couldn't do that and it literally goes through one ear and straight out of the other. Jefferson does what Jefferson wants, but I have to say he delivers some pretty amazing results. I don't think the police in the UK actually know what to make of Jefferson to start with. I think they find him rather arrogant but by the end they have grown to have a lot of respect for him.
The relationship between Templeton and Jefferson I really enjoyed. They work really well together and have a lot of mutual respect for each other. I think there is also a little bit of a spark between the pair and as much as I would have loved a bit of a romance to be going on, I have to say I'm glad the author did not go down that route so that the story very much focuses on the extremely horrific crime.
Broken Dolls is an intense page turner of a read. I was well and truly gripped from start to finish and devoured every twist and turn that shocked and surprised me.
Fantastic start to a crime series and actually quite glad I am a bit late to it as I don't have to wait for the author to bring out the next one as it's already out!
