Mystery of the Month: ‘Broken’ by Karin Slaughter

Posted on 25 June 2010 by Trisha, Managing Editor

broken by Karin SlaughterI have never met anyone who’s read more mysteries than our own Bruce Tierney, Whodunit columnist extraordinaire. For years he’s been choosing a mystery of the month, and Karin Slaughter has been a pick multiple times. He says her latest, Broken, which went on sale Tuesday, is the best so far: “There are secrets in Grant County, and unearthing some of them can be lethal, even if you carry a badge.”

We BookPage editors fell in love with Karin Slaughter when she was our Meet the Author guest in 2008 for Fractured. Who can resist an author who appreciates Southern grammar?

    I have all Ms Slaughter’s books and the Will Trent character is, in my opinion, by far the best. I just wish she would rid him of Angie and Sara. A character with that tragic a background surely deserves better. Having now expressed the sentimental view, I hope she will continue writing about Will and, please do not kill him too.

    Hey just to say that i agree that the will trent character has had a huge impact on me so far.I think sara deserves a person like will and vice versa. I think we definitely need to watch this space.
