Fractured Review: Great read - I liked this one, but had some issues that prevented me from enjoying it so much more. It took me a few chapters (or more) to get the characters and time period straight. It was confusing how it was alternating from present to past and I had to keep "rereading" to sort it all out. I think I had the same issue with her other novel so maybe it is just me. The plot was intriguing and I wanted to know more about why Julie was being stalked by a fan of her bestselling novel, The Murder Game. Julie and her family re-locate to a quiet neighborhood, but her problems don't subside they only increase. I especially enjoyed the nuance of the crazy snoopy neighbors and the prying eyes of the home owner association president! The ending was a disappointment because it was too predictable and not suspenseful to me (after much build-up). An overall easy read with a mystery to solve! Review: An awesome suspense read. - "Fractured" by Catherine McKenzie A psychological thriller at its best. One where the reader figures out very quickly there was an accident of some kind, but is not clear what kind it was, or who it involves other than a member of the Dunbar family. Mixed amongst the above is the newly arrived Prentice family. The novel is told through the interchanging perspectives of John Dunbar, a dedicated husband and father of two teens and Julie Prentice, a loving wife, the mother of six year old twins and an author. The reader is drawn in from from the first paragraph. It immediately engages the reader and from there it never lets them go. The adage of "just one more chapter," until one finishes the novel fits perfectly here. The author tells the story of the Dunbar family in the present and it is clear there is a court case that is in the grand jury phase, that involves them. On addition, the author also provides a recollection of their life during the previous year, including personal issues as a family, a couple, and as parents. Conversely, the author describes bits and pieces of Julie and her family's life over the past year in comparison to the vivid picture of their present situation. The author provides just enough back story information that the reader gets a true picture of all the characters, their flaws, their issues, and who they are at heart. She has created characters that are realistic and relatable and pull the reader into the novel. The plotline is multifaceted and weaves in and out from the present to the past seamlessly and without confusion. It provides a larger picture of the issues the characters are facing, how they work through them, and does within a twisting and turning plot. Quite often the interchanging behaviors of the characters within the novel will lead you down one path when the reader should be heading down an alternate path...one that will surprise you and may not even be the "accurate" ending.

Rating: 4.8 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### ⭐⭐⭐ Fun novel, but disappointed by the ending *by B***Y on October 8, 2016* Started out very promising. I liked the buildup to the undisclosed "event" throughout the novel. It reminded me of books by Liane Moriarty. The banter between the characters in Fractured, along with the passive aggressive community newsletters, were also very realistic and amusing. There was such a teaser to the big accident/murder throughout the book that the ending was kind of a let down for me. I expected a bit more of a twist. Still a fun, quick read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/203052186-fractured](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/203052186-fractured) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
