Cracked Sapphire by Jane Blythe
4.0
Cracked Sapphire takes you through Detective Sapphire Hatcher's own personal trauma without going into full details of the traumatic experience she faced when she was sold by her parents along with her sisters to human traffickers and how that has shaped her to become the closed-off person she has become.
When the case she is working on has more issues and questions and no real clues about the suspect her boss brings in Criminal Psychiatrist Dr. Gideon Barlow and forces her to work with him on the investigation.
Gideon pushes every button she has and makes her face things she does not want to consider. He is committed to finding the killer in their case and trying to help Sapphire see she can have a life outside of work but with all Sapphire's emotional trauma she may never be ready to see past the future of solitude she has set in motion. Can he break down her walls enough to bring to light the woman within?
If you like the TV show Criminal Minds this is a lighter version of it. That violence with past trauma almost fades to black in some areas. This is a slow burn, angst, emotional trauma,
I gave it four stars because for me personally I felt like there could have been more steam in the book but realize not everyone wants that in all their books beyond that it would have been 5 stars. Overall I enjoyed the storyline and the twists and turns the story went through.
