Waiting On Wednesday: Broken by Karin Slaughter


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Karin Slaughter is a fairly new discovery of mine. I have only read one of her books, Undone and I absolutely loved it. I pretty much devoured it in one day. I am very happy that another one of her books is coming up.

Book details:

Title: Broken

Author: Karen Slaughter

Publish Date: June 22, 2010

ISBN: 0385341970

Broken: A Novel (Grant County)Book Synopsis from the author's website:

When the body of a young woman is discovered deep beneath the icy waters of Lake Grant, a note left under a rock by the shore points to suicide. But within minutes, it becomes clear that this is no suicide. It's a brutal, cold-blooded murder. All too soon former Grant County medical examiner Sara Linton - home for Thanksgiving after a long absence -- finds herself unwittingly drawn into the case. The chief suspect is desperate to see her but when she arrives at the local police station she is met with a horrifying sight -- he lies dead in his cell, the words 'Not me' scrawled across the walls. Something about his confession doesn't add up and deeply suspicious of the detective in charge, Lena Adams, Sara immediately calls the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Shortly afterwards, Special Agent Will Trent is brought in from his vacation to investigate. But he is immediately confronted with a wall of silence. Grant County is a close-knit community with loyalties and ties that run deep. And the only person who can tell the truth about what really happened is dead. 

I. CAN'T. WAIT. !!!
