I managed to get my hands on a copy of Broken by Karin Slaughter very soon after it's release (kudos to my library for getting all these new books!). I read it quickly, and enjoyed it...but in a sense, this book's title reflects the series as a whole. This is the 8th book of the Grant county series, and without going into spoiler-alert detail, the series really fizzled after book #6 - those of you who've read it know what I mean. Slaughter tries, and I can't say the books are bad, but the series is broken, and will never be the same. The combining of Slaughter's other series so that Will Trent is now a main character is interesting, but it doesn't fix anything.
On the bright side, this book is set back in Grant County, as opposed to Atlanta. That helps. I still don't like Sara and her anger toward Lena. Lena is a complex character, but she's always been my favorite. There is some upturn there, but no resoltion, and I wonder if there will be more installments in the series. I'll read them...but it can never be the same.
