About this listen

New York Times best seller

"This chilling mystery is just begging to be read in one sitting." (Cosmopolitan)

Broken features the return of New York Times best-selling author Karin Slaughter’s most compelling characters and introduces memorable new ones in a tale of corruption, murder, and confrontation that will leave more than one life destroyed....

When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions about a prisoner’s death. He doesn’t understand why Officer Lena Adams is hiding secrets from him. He doesn’t understand her role in the death of Grant County’s popular police chief. He doesn’t understand why that man’s widow, Dr. Sara Linton, needs him now more than ever to help her crack this case

While the police force investigates the murder of a young woman pulled from a frigid lake, Trent investigates the police force, putting pressure on Adams just when she’s already about to crack. Caught between two complicated and determined women, trying to understand Linton’s passionate distrust of Adams, the facts surrounding Chief Tolliver’s death, and the complexities of this insular town, Trent will unleash a case filled with explosive secrets - and encounter a thin blue line that could be murderous if crossed.

Spellbinding and keenly paced, Broken is Karin Slaughter at her best. Here is an unforgettable story of raw emotions, dangerous assumptions, the deadly and layered game of betrayal, and a man’s determination to expose the most painful of human truths - no matter how deeply they’re hidden...or how devastating.

Loved this one!!

Love Slaughters story lines and characters, but struggle with some of the horrific detail in some of her book. Less of the graphic details made it a great listen!!!

More character, More drama :D

This book is a good transition between Grant County & Will Trent. It almost feels like a stretched out short story or novella but it was also a welcome reprieve from the previous books. A nice change of pace from serial killers and certain aspects of horrible people. This series continues to move well and expand the world of Will Trent! I can't wait to see where the next books go

I adore Karin Slaughter

I’m always amazed at how well Slaughter creates relationships and this book did the same. I love to see how Will and Faith have bonded and am always pulling for Will. He’s remarkable and hope that he and Sarah Linton have more interactions later in this series.

If you haven’t read the Grant County series, do yourself a favor and do that before moving to the Will Trent series. So much history carries over I TJ this series.

Good story, however excessive use of foul language

The Will Trent stories are excellent. Seems as if all characters have hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Sweating is mentioned so much that its mention is like a neon sign. I have found this true with all of her books as she punctuates with "sweat".
This does not take away from the quality of the story. It is quite noticeable though.
Also, the foul language is over the top.
