Broken

Broken by Karin Slaughter

Karin Slaughter is a talented, proven mystery author. I have enjoyed her novels in the past, but I had issues with this one. I would give the storyline of this one an A. But the characters?--D, at best.

Who was the reader supposed to like in this story? The main characters were all flawed, and not in an endearing way. I cared about Will Trent a tiny bit but Lena was unstable and Sara was obnoxious.

For me, characters are the most important part of a novel. If I can’t engage with the characters I have a hard time caring about the plot. I kind of hoped she would kill all these characters at the end because I just didn’t care.
