As a member of Ms. Furlong's review team, I had the opportunity to read "Fractured Truth."
Brynn, an ex-Marine, along with her dog, Wilco, find themselves back home in Bone Gap, Tennessee. Brynn is a member of a "clan" called the Pavees, or Travellers, but her own people tend to distrust her because she is working on the police force who they refer to as "settled folk." This causes her some turmoil, but she is only trying to do her job, that of solving the murders of two young girls, Maura and Addy, Maura being a Pavee girl. The Pavee people believe that justice is better served "clan style" and not by the police force. While looking for the second victim, an old car and some old remains are discovered. Brynn knows immediately who they belong to and is hoping that none of her past comes back to haunt her.
This book has just the right amount of intertwining stories to include two new murders, an old murder, hints of romance (old and new), teenage jealously issues, and the main character, Brynn, is forced to deal with some of her own demons. While this book is part of a series, one can certainly read it as a standalone. It is a fast read and will hook the reader from the very beginning, easily to be read within a day or two if one has the time.
