Broken Harbor MYS Fre

I listened to the audiobook of Broken Harbor. (We also own the book.)  I enjoyed this mystery a lot but it probably not for everyone.  If you like your mystery books filled with action on every page with lots of grizzly details then skip this book.  If, however, you enjoy the detective work of a crime and the slow unraveling of the reason behind the crime then I think you will like this book!   The detective was featured in earlier books by French.  He is Mick Kennedy.  He has been around and is a great detective - which is the reason he was given this big case.  In a new development, which was quickly and shabbily built, a terrible crime has been discovered.  Inside the house are the bodies of Pat Spain and his two young children.  Pat's wife, Jenny, is critically injured and clinging to life.  There are a lot of bizarre things about the scene of the crime.  The house is absolutely immaculate and well-maintained  - except for the half-dozen baby monitors scattered about and the holes that have been made in the walls. It takes a lot of digging to solve this crime.  There is also a parallel story concerning Kennedy's connection to Broken Harbor and how it haunts him today.  I listened to it every minute I could to find out who did it and why!
