Fractured Audiobook Summary

WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC!

“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 bestselling suspense novel set in metropolitan Atlanta. Now the #1 internationally bestselling 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 that 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 that 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.

"Everyone had a reason for everything they did, even if that reason was sometimes stupidity."A young girl is found brutally murdered. A mother who kills the alleged murderer. A missing girl. A scandalous and gruesome mess. It’s going to take one special individual to solve this crime: enter Will Trent.Fractured, is a dark and gruesome mystery/thriller featuring Will Trent and Faith Martin. The second installment of the series introduces Will Trent’s new partner, Faith Martin. Faith is a smart and dynamic character. I loved how she and Will played off each other, and I am looking forward to seeing how their working relationship and tentative friendship progress. Will has a personal connection to the case in more ways than one, making him especially vulnerable. I enjoyed seeing this side of him. Overall, Fractured is another great addition to the series. The case is dark and embodies many different levels of disgustingness. I am always fascinated by the little clues that Slaughter weaves in that fall right over my head, and this book was no exception. It’s not as good as book one, Triptych, but still very good. Angie's character makes only a few appearances, which was fine by me! The moments featuring Betty the dog made me smile. Onto book 3!

Fractured by Karin Slaughter is a 2008 publication. This second book in the Will Trent series, is a complicated case involving the death of an unpopular girl, and the kidnapping of her affluent friend, Emma. Will finds himself feeling a little off his game when it comes to light that he and Emma’s father have a shared history and Will must work on this case with a partner, Faith Williams, a woman who holds a grudge against him. This crime story is complicated, sordid, and pretty lurid. The police procedural is interwoven into a complex family drama. Once more the devil is in the details, and Will eventually locks all the pieces together, to open a Pandora’s box of evil. This second installment was not quite as strong as the first, but it is still a very absorbing story, one that made me cringe on more than one occasion. I love how the story is cleverly woven together, piece by piece, connecting everything so seamlessly. I also like the attention the author gives to learning disorders and the difficulties those who live with these issues face. Will, of course, is a prime example, and his expertise in these matters actually comes in handy. I did kind of enjoy Will’s discomfiture at times, since he seems so smooth outwardly, at least, most of the time. He is certainly an enigma, and hard to figure out. I thought Faith really gave him a run for his money and kept him on his toes, which is good for him.Angie is not prominently featured in this installment and I am curious about the future of her relationship with Will. I found the family dramas added a layer of angst to the tense situation, as the inevitable blame game began, and marital discord became public knowledge. It is also a little bit of a character study, not so much on one particular person, but on a class of people, who have become accustomed to having their way, controlling situations, and making demands. Emma’s parents have no control over the investigation, but attempt to manipulate it, bully the investigators and pull strings, thinking they can handle this situation like they do everything else… with money, power and influence. Suffice it say, that when all is said and done, none of those things will help when dealing with depraved individuals. In the end, this is a pretty dark and twisted tale, and a compelling crime drama. 4 stars

Originally posted on The Book NymphoQuick summaryAbigail Campano comes home and interrupts what appears to be an intruder who's apparently murdered her daughter. What transpires next is shocking and extraordinary. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) and Agent Will Trent are ultimately called in when the case extends beyond the reach of the Atlanta Police Department (APD). He's paired with APD Detective Faith Mitchell to coordinate the efforts of the two law enforcement groups and for the additional help. What I loved about the storyFaith makes her debut in the story and I loved how her working relationship with Will evolved from nowhere to respect and grudging admiration. They made a great team, especially given Will's secret dyslexia. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them as a team. The case was extremely intriguing, taking some interesting and shocking twists and turns, some bordering on the macabre. The investigation was solid, showing the best of Will and his vulnerabilities. His relationship with fiancée Angie is a hot mess and it will be interesting to see where that goes. The narrationPhil Gigante, one of my favorite narrators, provides a really good performance with perfect timing and character distinctions. The bottom lineI really loved the odd connections between many of the characters. Atlanta is a big city where everyone seems to know everybody's history on some level. It's a southern thing that's well represented in the story. Slaughter is a master at weaving mystery, suspense and police procedurals with outstanding character development and this is a fine representation. I can't wait to start the next book.

This is the second in the Will Trent series. In this one, Will Trent is called in to investigate the murder of a teenager girl. Upon finding her daughter dead, her Mother attacks who she believes to be her daughter's killer. It is also discovered that the missing girls father, knew Trent growing up.Not everything is as it seems and we learn that one girl is dead while another is missing. Will and his new partner, Faith are working against the clock to find the missing teen.I liked the character of Faith, who has a sort of past with Trent. Their interactions as first are hostile and apologetic. As the investigation goes on, we see Faith begin to warm up to Trent. Trent is still with on again off again girlfriend Angie. I hope he begins to wise up. He is so smart in many areas of his life and yet he keeps repeating the same mistake over and over again. He also seems to be stuck with his dyslexia, hiding it form his peers, ashamed and afraid of what they will think of him. He continues to awkward but the more we (I) learn about him, the more likable he becomes.The story is good and solid in this book. Like an onion this book has many layers and once peeled back, the story comes full swing.See more of my reviews at www.openbookpost.com

Really enjoyed this and would recommend, but I felt that it wasn’t written in the usual Karin Slaughter gruesome style! Although there were gory bits it wasn’t as in your face as normal!I haven’t read these in order and jumping now from book 2 to book 9 and it hasn’t made any difference in the sense that there wasn’t a lot of underlying stories that I couldn’t get in to jumping straight to book x

4.5 STARSJust getting started in this series and already I find myself getting sucked in fast! Will Trent is such and intriguing man He is a broken man. An awkward, eccentric personality. Yet he's also decent and kind. He is dysfunctional. He is brilliant. He is sexy as fuck, but in a shy and guarded sort of way. But more than anything... he is lonely. And yet he avoids close connections, they bring on too many questions. He has dreams, just like everyone else. But he buries them so deep that he's forgotten they even exist. And they terrify him. But I want this man to have everything. I want all of his dreams to come true. I wish I could make them come true. And still I know very little about him. Will Trent was certainly an enigma. This is a crime series. It is violent and often gruesome. There is mystery and intrigue dripping off the pages. One of the things I like most about the series so far is the characters. They are so thick and juicy you can really sink your teeth into them. And many of them are not likable people. They are actually quite the opposite. (Except of course our lovely WT!)This crime was actually quite complicated. I kept formulating new theories that all seemed to be wrong. I won't say much more about it, but it had my head spinning by the end. As soon as it all came into focus, I felt like going back to the beginning and reading it all over again to try to catch the clues. Sometimes, all you could do was pray for the strength to carry on. For years, Abigail had worried that her daughter would turn out exactly like her mother. Now she worried the she would not turn out at all. Anyway, I'm looking forward to moving on to the next book. I'm not joking about Will Trent. I am falling in love with him fast. And I don't even know why. But I'm afraid I'm a lost cause. Angie is starting to piss me off. I want her gone. Will deserves better... no best. Stay cool, Betty

As usual, Slaughter delivers an interesting mystery with complex characters (some were in the previous book of the series, some are new). The start was really strong! If the story was as good as the first chapters, it could deserve more stars, but I just didn't find myself as enthralled as with the Grant County series or Triptych. Honestly, it's my least favorite to this day, but it's still a Slaughter: nice writing and touching characters. I hope we're gonna see more of Faith in the next books, I particularly liked her.Although it breaks my heart, I have to give 3.5 to this second book in the Will Trent series (rounded up!).
