Review
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Will Trent (Triptych, 2006) tracks the monster - more likely, the pair of monsters - who raped and killed one teenage girl and abducted another.Slaughter (Beyond Reach, 2007, etc.) kicks off with one of her trademark instant-trauma scenes: Abigail Campano, fresh from confronting her husband Paul over his latest fling, walks into her house to find her daughter Emma dead, a man with a knife bending over her. Summoning impossible reserves of strength and courage, Abigail strikes back at the intruder only to find that she's completely, catastrophically misread the scene. Emma has been kidnapped, not killed, and the clock is ticking down toward the moment when it's too late to help her. The ill-assorted crime-fighters working the case include Amanda Wagner of the GBI; Will Trent, the dyslexic agent who's constantly frustrated by her secrecy and manipulation; and Det. Faith Mitchell of the Atlanta State Police, who's furious with Will for pushing her mother off the force and rightly suspicious that he's holding out on her as well. Whether Slaughter is focusing on the investigators, the bereaved parents or the suspects, the intensity is nonstop.The trail leads to a pair of nasty perps Slaughter has barely paid attention to before and a messy, improbable reconstruction of the crime. But fans swept up in the story's relentless drive won't even notice these problems till they've turned the last page with a deep sigh of relief. (Kirkus Reviews)

Format:Hardcover
I have read all of Karin Slaughter's books, and absolutely loved each one. I really like the Grant County series, although I also thought her stand alone book, Triptych, was excellent. I have been very excited waiting for the release of Fractured. However, I did not feel that this book was as good as any of her others. It was still a good read, but after Triptch I was expecting an amazing story, with many twists in the plot. The book did not deliver. I did not think anything was particularly surprising. There were not 'loads of plot twists' despite what other reviews may say. I don't want to spoil the story, so I won't go into detail, but don't expect a list of suspects, and then a big "OMG - he did it" at the end. It ended exactly as I thought it would.
To summarise, I would still recommend Fractured to Karin Slaughter fans, but I would warn that this is probably the weakest out of all her books to date.

When Atlanta housewife Abigail Campano comes home unexpectedly one afternoon, she walks into a nightmare. A broken window, a bloody footprint on the stairs and, most devastating of all, the horrifying sight of her teenage daughter lying dead on the landing, a man standing over her with a bloody knife. The struggle which follows changes Abigail's life forever. When the local police make a misjudgement which not only threatens the investigation but places a young girl's life in danger, the case is handed over to Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Apprehension Team - teamed with detective Faith Mitchell, a woman who resents him from their first meeting. But in the relentless heat of a Georgia summer, Will and Faith realise that they must work together to find the brutal killer who has targeted one of Atlanta's wealthiest, most privileged communities - before it's too late.
This is the second book in Karin Slaughter's Will Trent series. I thought this book was really good it was full of Slaughters trademark twists and turns and the 2 leading detectives were absolutely believable and highly readable. I think the story line is really good and again, believable as we follow the effects of the tragedy on the surrounding environments. While this is the second Will Trent book it would be just as good as a standalone.
Karin Slaughter really is a breathtaking talent in the genre and definately one of the best at it, definately worth a read.

I've read all Karin Slaughter books and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. This is very different from her Grant County series but just as good in my opinion. I read it in about 3 days and could hardly put it down, I hope she does more with Will and Faith in as really liked both characters.

Terrific prequel to Genesis
Karin Slaughter (KS)is a class act and my only regret is that I read this book out of sequence, in that I had already read Genesis. Read more
