Fractured by Karin Slaughter
Abigail Campano discovers her daughter Emma brutally murdered. She is attacked by Adam, a teen boy, but she defends herself and strangles him. Thus, begins the next case for Will Trent. A thriller.
Emma wasn’t murdered. She was abducted. Abigail wasn’t attacked by Adam, but she really killed him. Another girl, Kayla, was the one murdered. That was still in the first chapter!
Will Trent was raised by the state, no parents. He has dyslexia. He can barely read or write. Regardless, he is observant and intuitive. He is a great detective. His boss at the GBI tries to micromanage him while also respecting his skills.
Will is paired with Faith Mitchell from the Atlanta PD. She can’t figure out Will, while appreciating that he isn’t misogynistic like everyone at the APD. She works hard and is a good detective.
The book is about sex abuse, abuse of minors, and torture. However, most of the action is reported, not shown.
A fast-moving story.
