Book Review: Will Trent How Does He Do It?
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this new cast of characters for Karin Slaughter. Will Trent is a great character!!! Its shocking how messed up his previously life was that he's somewhat normal. Im torn if he should be with Angie or not, I don't even think he knows!! I like Faith and glad that he's getting a partner now!!! It will be interesting to see how well they work together. Cannot wait for the next book!!!Book Review: Brilliant beginning...
Summary: 3 Stars
...however as the story progresses it all gets a bit ploddy and I found myself losing interest as to whether the mystery is resolved or not.
Special Agent Will Trent and Detective Faith Mitchell are thrown together to unravel this case. Will features in 'Triptych' but in 'Fractured' Karin concentrates more on developing his character, more than one aspect of which is worked nicely in with the story. Both he and Faith are realistically written with interesting histories and mini plots of their own and and I liked their developing work relationship.
The message running through this novel is the importance of families and a feeling that you belong. Some characters having been denied a loving family, others not realising what they have until it's too late.
Whilst the momentum wasn't sustained throughout, it was still an enjoyable read and I'd definitely read the next novel featuring Will and Faith.
Book Review: Fractured
Summary: 3 Stars
Nicely done murder mystery, but I won't be giving up Kathy Reich's, Martha Grimes, P.D.James, etc. any time soon.
Also the author has a childish tendency to interject anti-Northern sentinments into the story.
Really the war is over--build a bridge and ...

Book Review: Not Much of a Mystery
Summary: 1 Stars
A girl is found murdered, beaten and stabbed. A man comes toward the (supposed) mother of the girl with a knife in his hand, struggles with her, grabs her ankles, never identifies himself in any way - but he CAN and is talking. Taking this to mean that he's the killer, she kills him. It's discovered fairly quickly that he isn't the killer, but one of the victims, who acts very inappropriately in a crucial situation.
The very first character I cared about and was interested in, was the mother, Abigail - unfortunately she disappeared after that, and it was all about a GBI detective, Will, who somehow obtained an advanced degree without being able to read, fill out applications, etc, and Faith, a police officer who had an illegitimate child at age 15 and is now very concerned with her love life. If you are interested in dyslexia,unwed motherhood, and/or police officer's personal relationships this could be the book for you. As for the victim and the main offender, well, not much was told. The other offender was just a stupid orphan (also with dyslexia - but not intelligent - he was not in the majority of dyslexics!), so, what can you expect but that he would be easily led into doing wrong?
Oh, I also liked the dog, Betty.
