Fractured: A Novel

A Will Trent Thriller

De: Karin Slaughter

Narrado por: Kathleen Early

“Breathless tension!” raved the San Francisco Chronicle. “One of [the year’s] most remarkable achievements,” crowed The Philadelphia Inquirer. Karin Slaughter dazzled readers and critics alike with Triptych, her New York Times best-selling suspense novel set in metropolitan Atlanta. Now the number-one internationally best-selling author returns to the damaged landscape she knows so well in a bold new novel - at once a powder keg of suspense, a gritty portrait of a cop’s life, and a searing exploration of a shocking crime and its aftermath....

With its gracious homes and tree-lined streets, Ansley Park is one of Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods. But in one gleaming mansion, in a teenager’s lavish bedroom, a girl has been savagely murdered. And in the hallway, her horrified mother stands amid shattered glass, having killed her daughter’s attacker with her bare hands.

Detective Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is here only to do a political favor; the murder site belongs to the Atlanta police. But Trent soon sees something the cops are missing, something in the trail of blood, in a matrix of forensic evidence, and in the eyes of the shell-shocked mother. Within minutes, Trent is taking over the case - and adding another one to it. He is sure another teenage girl is missing and that a killer is on the loose.

Armed with only fleeting clues, teamed with a female cop who has her own personal reasons for hating him, Trent has enemies all around him - and a gnawing feeling that this case, which started in the best of homes, is cutting quick and deep through the ruins of perfect lives broken wide open: where human demons emerge with a vengeance.

Great story

Great Story, keeps you wondering all the way through to the very end. Just when you think you know...
And a great intro by the author.

Try to guess who did it. I bet you're wrong.

This was my first Will Trent book and I have to say it will not be my last. This book was interesting all the way through. As with any thriller, mystery type of book you try to guess who's the bad guy, who's being set up, so on and so forth. However in this book, I had no dang clue. The ending of the book had me sitting for chapters with my mouth hanging open. This was a great book all the way around!

chilling mystery

This is the first book from this author for me and won't be my last. She does a good job with the characters and the hints for solving the mystery.

Binged it!

I listened to this book over two days when I was recently ill. Loved it! It completely took my mind off of anything else that was happening. Looking for the next Karen Slaughter novel to listen to now!

Love Love Love Karin Slaughter!

Can’t wait to start the next book in the Will Trent series. Kathleen Early’s narration is perfect, too

Fractured

Loved this book- the characters and plot. I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

Will Trent

I love this character and how he deals with his disability, but yet can excel on police work

Depth of characters and incredible story!

Will Trent stories definitely draw me in. I love trying to figure out the mystery/crime and these characters are ultra interesting. Heading to Undone!

Better story

While the story focused on more on Will Trent, which was much better, the narrator ruined it. This narrator cannot do a make voice.

Pretty Good.

This is my second Will Trent book. I am getting used to the character and like the series so far. Good narration and good writing. The TV show is disappointing.
