good detective team

These are good characters and with issues. For me novels are character driven, and Ms. Slaughter does a good job with the three main detectives. I hope this is a seris, now I will go back and read her other work. Good Job.

Another great book from Karin Slaughter

My favorite author - she is a great story teller with strong characters. Some may find some of her subject matters disturbing but it is hard to but them down once you start reading. If you have children, especially a daughter, this one will get to you. I also highly recommend the entire Grant County series...can't wait until the next one comes out.

best book i've read for awhile!

I was totally into this book. it's characters and the story were intense. i was an avid grant county series books by karin. I took it rather personally after the last book when one of the main characters was killed off. Will probably get over it in time for a new grant county series book to come out. But, i really enjoyed this book. I thought it was much better than triptych which i thought was just ok.

Another fine book from Slaughter; with a possibly hidden message?

In her second book featuring Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Slaughter weaves a lean, taut tale that far surpasses the previous work featuring Trent -- Triptych -- and introduces a new character in Faith Mitchell; a tough, savvy, smart and aggressive cop who seems destined to continue into future works as Trent's partner.

Slaughter has a real talent for creating fully realized three-dimensional characters, with all the flaws and gifts that make each of them real and believable.

In this case, Trent's battle with dyslexia is explored in depth, and brings a new twist to the genre that is original and inventive, and used to great effect throughout.

It never occurred to me until I started writing this review, but Slaughter made an interesting decision in naming her characters, because in essence, this novel boils down to:

Can Will and Faith defeat Evil?

Brilliant beginning...

...however as the story progresses it all gets a bit ploddy and I found myself losing interest as to whether the mystery is resolved or not.

Special Agent Will Trent and Detective Faith Mitchell are thrown together to unravel this case. Will features in 'Triptych' but in 'Fractured' Karin concentrates more on developing his character, more than one aspect of which is worked nicely in with the story. Both he and Faith are realistically written with interesting histories and mini plots of their own and and I liked their developing work relationship.

The message running through this novel is the importance of families and a feeling that you belong. Some characters having been denied a loving family, others not realising what they have until it's too late.

Whilst the momentum wasn't sustained throughout, it was still an enjoyable read and I'd definitely read the next novel featuring Will and Faith.
