August 2010 Indie Next List

“Ahh, Karin Slaughter does flawed characters so well!! There are dirty cops with histories, indigent students trying to make a buck, more dirty cops who are trying to leave the past behind, the widowed medical examiner turned ER doc, and to top it all off there is Detective Will Trent, dyslexic, orphaned and passed around from foster home to foster home, whose challenges allow him to see things more clearly. In Broken, Trent, in his methodical, quiet, brilliant manner manages to break a criminal investigation of two murdered students in Grant County wide open;one that is being covered up from the top down. Once you start this, you will not want to stop reading!”
