“This chilling mystery is just begging to be read in one sitting.”—Cosmopolitan
 
WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC • This edition features an introduction on the origins of the New York Times bestselling Will Trent novels

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. Broken 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 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.

    The chapters in the story were great and you don’t know the bad person until near the end. I love this author and have liked all her books.
  • Thank you

    Thank you for your great stories. I have read all of the Grant county and all of the Will Trent up to this book. I have absolutely loved these series. I found out early to read them in order. But any way thanks for keeping your ebook prices low enough that they are affordable. I sure hope Sarah and Will get together and adopt a baby!
  • Good....but not the best

    I've read all of Karin Slaughter's books except Criminal (cant wait to download it) This particular story does a great job of leaving off where Beyond Reach ended 😰so make sure to read it, but be prepared for a dreary & fairly depressing storyline. Karin Slaughter has a way of weaving a couple of possible "bad guy(s)" in throughout the story so you're always wondering....but not so this time. I almost scimmed over the actual area where we suspect "who-dunnit" because it gets way to detailed about the weather and/or characters you just didn't care enough about. All-in-all a good story-ESPECIALLY if you're a Will Trent fan & if you're rooting for Lena Adams 👍😃
  • Awesoome!!
