Book two in the Will Trent series stood out for a couple of reasons. One, we meet Faith Mitchell who is to become Will’s partner. Her perspective toward him is unique as she’s initially hostile towards him but comes to respect him. Two, we get a glimpse of Will’s vulnerabilities when he encounters a suspect who is also a survivor of state foster care and is functionally illiterate.

Faith and Will are teamed up to investigate a horrific crime that left two teenagers dead and another missing. This was a lot more procedural than the first book, and they have quite the crime scene to process and analyze. I felt like we saw more of how the GBI operates when the Atlanta PD bungles things initially. Fractured didn’t have the intensity of Triptych, although Slaughter does make her readers very aware of how crucial time is in a missing persons case. Still, I’m looking forward to how Will and Faith work together going forward.
