Karin Slaughter’s internationally bestselling novels are as notable for their vivid portraits of lives shadowed by loss and heartbreak as they are for their dramatic criminal investigations. Her latest offering features the return of her most compelling characters and introduces memorable new ones in a tale of corruption, murder, and confrontation that will leave more than one life . . .
When …
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.

WHAT’S A GOOD RAINY DAY READ?
For me, a good rainy-day read is a book of a mystery or suspense novel that is too good to bookmark, or, something that has been on my bookshelf for far too long. But, a good read for a rainy day is one you can comfortably curl up with and get lost in until the skies clear.
Broken is a gripping novel of loss and …
This 4th book in the series spends a lot of time establishing characters and putting them in a place to move the series forward. The murders propel the story, which is a an intriguing one, but it is the developments we see with Will, Sara, and even Lena that are the most compelling as we look towards the future.
Sara is home in Grant Co for …
This was a really great book. I was happy to get a back story on Sara from the previous book and as always Will. I really hope Will leaves Angie for Sara, she seems kinder and better for him. I can’t wait to read the next one!
Excellent book. Could not put down. Great characters
I am addicted to Karin Slaughter and have read all of her books, just in the last year since I’ve been home-bound to avoid Covid-19.
I have read all of the Dr. Sarah Linton books, and was devestated when her husband was killed. I didn’t think I wanted to read any more of them.
However, in comes a new character – Special Agent Will Trent. Although he was introduced in an earlier book, this book continues as the relationship between Will and Sarah deepens. Will arrives in Grant …
