Shattered is a romantic suspense novel that keeps the reader guessing throughout the pages of this intriguing mystery. In addition, the main characters, the close-knit McKenna family, and the quick, lively dialogue captivate the reader's attention.
If I were to search for any unbelievable aspect of this book, it would be that a whole middle-class family could leave their jobs and homes in order to make expensive journeys around two countries in search of clues to solve the mystery of a murder. On the other hand, I'm sure most families would use whatever resources were available to help their brother, who was unjustly accused of murder. Despite this minor observation, Shattered is well-written, surprising the reader with the unusual conclusion to the novel. It is well-worth reading. (Book review by Sharon Fuqua)
