Imagine waking up with no memory. You’ve been in a car crash, but more than just having no memory of the crash you can’t remember any personal details about your life.
Now imagine being told that your boyfriend is dead. Worse, he was murdered and since you don’t know what you were doing prior to the crash you are a suspect.
Welcome to Grace’s world. A place full of half truths, as she tries to piece her life back together and figure out whether she is capable of murder.
“We could all kill someone, couldn’t we?”
I wasn’t sure about Broken Grace to begin with, it felt a bit predictable. Not helped by the clichéd relationship between the two police officers investigating the murder. You know, the rookie cop comes up against an older partner who automatically thinks he knows better simply because he has been around longer.
Thankfully things kicked up a notch about a third of the way in and that unexpected turn I was hoping for made its appearance.
From then on I was gripped by the story. As flashes of Grace’s memory return she tries to match them with what she has been told by the people around her, especially her sister. But things aren’t always what they seem.
You may or may not see the ending coming. I’ll admit to predicting some, but not all, of it.
Over all, it was a decent mystery that won me round despite my initial misgivings.
