Allison Brennan’s New York Times best-selling Lucy Kincaid and Max Revere series collide in a powerful audiobook, Shattered, about revenge, betrayal, and the desire for justice. Over a span of 20 years, four boys have been kidnapped from their bedrooms, suffocated, and buried nearby in a shallow grave. Serial killer or coincidence?

That’s the question investigative reporter Maxine Revere sets out to answer when an old friend begs her to help exonerate his wife, who has been charged with their son’s recent murder. But Max can do little to help because the police and D.A. won’t talk to her - they think they have the right woman. Instead, Max turns her attention to three similar cold cases. If she can solve them, she might be able to help her friend.

Justin Stanton was killed 20 years ago, and his father wants closure - so he is willing to help Max with her investigation on one condition: that she work with his former sister-in-law - Justin’s aunt, FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid. Trouble is, Max works alone, and she’s livid that her only access to the case files, lead detective and witnesses depends on her partnering with a federal agent on vacation. She wants the career-making story almost as much as the truth - but if she gets this wrong, she could lose everything.

Haunted by Justin’s death for years, Lucy yearns to give her family - and herself - the closure they need. More important, she wants to catch a killer. Lucy finds Max’s theory on all three cases compelling - with Max's research added to Lucy’s training and experience, Lucy believes they can find the killer so justice can finally be served. But the very private Lucy doesn’t trust the reporter any more than Max trusts her.

Max and Lucy must find a way to work together to untangle lies, misinformation, and evidence to develop a profile of the killer. But the biggest question is: why were these boys targeted? As they team up to find out what really happened the night Justin was killed, they make a shocking discovery: Justin’s killer is still out there...stalking another victim...and they already may be too late.

Great Combination

I liked how she put Lucy and Max into the same book. I hope there will be another one.

Incredible investigative murder mystery series

I loved every minute of this book. I pray Agent Lucy’s character will remain a huge part of Max’s life.

love it

I love all of Allison Brennan books. Have them all and wish for more

Shattered: A great title for a story that shatters

I completely enjoyed the book and found it hard to take breaks from listening. I have binged listened since picking up the Quinn & Costa series, which I loved. The best thing about this author is her ability build and maintain strong characters that are believable. I really like the character of Maxine and several times I wondered why Max took a backseat in this story. I have not listened to the Kincaid series so Lucy and family were all new to me. I would like for Lucy and Max to consult together in future books. Good dynamics between the two. This book has a sad and disturbing focus, but it was well written and good finally triumphed. I am sure that I will read all of AB’s books!
