Shattered Justice

Bone Gap Travellers #3

by Susan Furlong

In the Appalachian town of Bone Gap, Tennessee, backwoods justice is more than just blind. It's swift, silent, and shockingly personal. Especially for Irish Traveller turned deputy sheriff Brynn Callahan . . .

"Hear No Evil."

The first message is found in a playground. A few feet away, a pair of human ears hang from the monkey bars. Deputy sheriff Brynn Callahan isn't sure what to make of this grisly scene. Do the ears belong to a murder victim? And if so, where is the body? One thing Brynn is sure of: the earring on one of the earlobes belongs to a man she met at a party the previous night. . .

"Speak No Evil."

The second message is discovered next to a human tongue on a park pavilion. Once again, no body is found. Brynn can't help but wonder if the crimes are rooted in the town's long-simmering tensions between Bone Gap locals and the barely tolerated Travellers who've settled there.

"See No Evil."

For Brynn, the investigation hits too close to home--forcing her to confront the demons of her own past. But time is running out. Brynn has to track down the culprit before a third message is delivered--and a third victim is claimed. Rich, atmospheric, and brilliantly chilling, Shattered Justice is the third Bone Gap Travellers novel from the acclaimed author of Splintered Silence and Fractured Truth.

Shattered Justice by Susan Furlong is the third novel in the thrilling Bone Gap Travellers series. Each book of the series has had it’s own main case to be solved so this could be understood as a standalone. However, there are some things that have carried over from book to book that make reading from the the beginning the best option.

This series is set around a group of Irish Travellers that have settled in Bone Gap, Tennessee in the Appalachian Mountains. After events in her past Brynn Callahan left the group to join the Marines but now after an IED explosion has left her injured she’s returned with her cadaver dog, Wilco. Being ex-military and also a travellers herself Brynn has taken to working with the local police to be a bridge between the traveller community and the locals.

Shattered Justice has Brynn once again called in to help with her dog Wilco when a severed pair of ears are found without the body they belong to. Once Brynn arrives however she does recognize the earring still attached and thinks she knows the victim who happened to be with a friend of hers the night before. With Brynn’s friend an immediate suspect she becomes even more determined to solve the case.

Once again the author did a wonderful job of taking on the setting of this group of Irish Travellers in the mountains. With every page there was tension set with anticipation as the story went deeper into the murder mystery and the world it was set in. Brynn is one very flawed character after her time in the military along with her dog Wilco as they both pull emotions from the reader with their struggles. However, despite the flaws Brynn is one tough cookie that I’ve come to enjoy following and would continue to join in her journeys.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Brynn Callahan walks between two worlds- the Settled and the Pave- in Bone Gap, Tennessee. Don't worry if you haven't read the earlier books as you'll be fine with this boffo addition to the series as a standalone. Brynn came home from her tours as a Marine maimed and with PTSD, as did her dog Wilco but now she's a deputy sheriff and he's still working with her finding corpses. Someone is leaving body parts around town, first ears then a tongue. The atmospherics are terrific; Furlong has captured a real sense of small town Appalachia, the opioid crisis, the woods, pave culture, and so on. Although a large part of the story involves something her grandmother did, Furlong gives you enough info to fully appreciate what happened and why. The small bits, such as the hen party, Meg, the militia in the woods add so much. Thanks to Netgalley for the aRC. This is a complex and rewarding novel with a terrific (albeit flawed) pair of heroes in Brynn and Wilco. This is one I highly recommend and can't wait for the next outing.

I debated a rating of 3 stars or 4 stars. The first book started off with a bang for me and it was one of my best reads of the year I read it. The 2nd book I thought had a soap opera quality for me but still liked it ok and rated it a four. While reading this book, I wondered it the series was running out of gas for me.
There was quite a bit of sitting in an AA type meeting in the book with Brynn. So many elements were thrown into the plot. It was always something when you thought the dust was starting to settle, something new would pop up. Lots of names and people to keep up with. Seemed like everyone was involved somehow.
What I did like was Brynn's dog Wilco. I liked the Traveller(Pavee) information.

[Stanley McShane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another intense, book-hooking entry to the Bone Gap Travellers series that has you alternately cringing with reading faster. Ex-Marine Brynn Callahan returned to her family home after an IED ended both her tours and that of her cadaver dog, Wilco. But it wasn't easy to return to the Appalachians to her Irish Travellers (or Pavees) and assume a job with local law enforcement (the "settled"). Her community keeps to themselves and wields their own sense of law enforcement.
Brynn is suffering from PTSD, as is her dog, and daily struggles with staying clean, relief she'd found in booze and prescription meds. Her first person dialogue plops you squarely in her head where the fight is unrelenting.

This novel sets the old saying on edge as ears are found followed by a severed tongue, but the plot won't be that simple and soon revisits the closely held secret of her beloved Gran setting a strong distraction. There must be two bodies, but they are missing. Are they connected to the Pavee brought in?

The author has an amazing writing style, often producing quotable moments.

Brynn is intelligent, flawed, and damaged. The well-developed support characters provide a graphic mindset and along with descriptions of the deeply wooded mountains, foreboding and sinister, there hides more than the Travellers. An extremely disturbing depiction moves forefront along with some stomach-turning descriptions. The dialogue is brutal, many times raw, threatening, and the tension builds to a massively intricate conclusion and one you won't guess.

I was given a digital download by the publisher and NetGalley and am extremely grateful for the opportunity to read and review my third book in this series--and looking forward to Book 4. Recommended to any looking for a unique premise and genuinely engaging mystery. 4.5/5 stars

SHATTERED JUSTICE, the third book in the Bone Gap Travellers Novel series, by Susan Furlong is another edge-of-your-seat read that left me turning pages until the very last word was read. I was impressed how the deeply-flawed protagonist, Brynn Callahan, captured my attention and had me cheering for her despite her many failings. Central to the book is her battle with alcohol and pills. Brynn had become dependent upon them as she recovered from the horrific injuries, both physical and psychological, that she received as a Marine. Ms. Furlong captures the heart wrenching agony of Brynn’s struggles on the pages, which I hope brings awareness for real-life situations in our society. In addition to her injuries and addiction, Brynn’s attempt to straddle the settled world and the Irish Travellers' society where she was raised, all contribute to the damaged adult she’s become. Despite that, Brynn continues to try to do what she has to in order to survive, which I found inspirational. Ms. Furlong pens a chilling story of retribution and the need to find justice in whatever form. The twists and turns were like following a gloomy trail in a dark forest where every little sound made me jump as I read. This is one book that left me thinking about it long after I’d finished and has me hoping there will be more in this suspenseful series.

I was provided an advance copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

In this third book of the series we find Brynn at a bachelorette party trying to be good and not drink. She ends up leaving before doing anything bad and is called out the next morning to a crime scene. She finds herself on a playground looking at a pair of ears, the crazy thing, she recognizes the earring in the ear. She saw it the previous night on the ear of a man she met while at the party. When a tongue is later found it has Brynn asking herself what these body parts symbolize. Does it have anything to do with the utter disregard the locals have for travellers? Could it be a killer trying to manipulate the police into thinking one thing when it is actually something totally different? With body parts showing up and no bodies being found the police aren't sure exactly what direction they should take. No matter the reason Brynn must figure out who the killer is before more parts are found and someone else ends up dead. Meanwhile Brynn is going to mandatory meetings for alcoholics and drug users even though she feels like she can control things. Can Brynn pull herself through the darkness that surrounds her or will she let the past take hold. This was a great read, Brynn is such a multi-layered character that makes you just want to keep pulling away the pieces to get to know her even more.

[CD {Boulder Blvd} · Rating 2 out of 5]

Although the series has a lot of potential and I think the background of the travelers is interesting, it fails to deliver characters and a storyline I'm pulled into.

It seemed like most of the book dealt with Brynn's addiction to alcohol and pain pills and her need for sex. I've read way too many books where alcoholism defines the lead character and I'm just tired of the same stuff. Plus if you read the first two books, this is just a lot of the same with the addition of AA meetings.

There are really two cases in this book and it seemed like clues dropped into the lap of law enforcement while they ran around in circles covering up what they didn't want others to find. Brynn covers up everything that happens with the Travelers, to the point of letting it happen and walking away.

I set the book down numerous times just to do anything else but read it. I can't give more than two stars as I really didn't enjoy reading it. However, I still love Wilco...he's the best character.

4.5 stars

This is the third book in the Bone Gap Travellers series. It follows Brynn Callahan who grew up in the pavee community that has “settled” in Bone Gap, Tennessee. Brynn wasn’t really part of that community. Her mother got pregnant with a “settled” person and left Brynn to be raised by her grandmother. She always felt on the outside of both communities. After something happened when she was a teen, she joined the Marines. She’s now out after her and her cadaver dog were injured in an IED explosion. Now they both have PTSD and she’s working for the county sheriff’s office as a deputy.

In this story, Brynn and the sheriff’s office are finding body parts with messages. They need to find the person doing this before they kill again. Their search takes a lot of twists and turns. They run into a group of backwoods people, then on to a survivalist/militia group. Hard to know where to look next. Brynn also struggles with her addiction and has joined an AA type group as a requirement to keep her job. This story is the toughest one yet for Brynn.

I don’t want to go into too much detail on this book because it spoils the suspense of the story, but know this is a great read. I really love the characters in this series. Not just Brynn and her dog, but also her grandmother, her cousin, and the other deputies. I also like learning about the pavee community. I would recommend that you start with the first book, Splintered Silence. Each story builds on the previous one, so best if read in order.

Narration
I really love Amy Landon. This isn’t the first series that I’ve listened to that she narrated. It was her name that caught my eye and made me look at this series. She does a great job with a large cast of characters. She’s great with male and female characters. If you haven’t tried Amy Landon, I highly recommend her.

**I'd like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Another good book in the Bone Gap Travellers series. I really like how Susan Furlong is moving Brynn's life along as well as creating good mysteries. I like reading more about the Travellers. And Brynn and Wilco remain some of my favorite characters in the mystery books I read.

[Katherine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Brynn Callahan is a former Marine and recovering from addictions to alcohol and narcotics, as well as dealing with PTSD. She and her human remains detection dog (HRD), Wilco, are now working with a sheriff’s department in Tennessee. Both Brynn and Wilco suffered loss of body parts overseas due to an IED, and Wilco is now deaf. These injuries resulted in them being deemed unfit for service. Brynn is also a Pavee (what Irish Travellers prefer to be called) and deals with discrimination as a result.

I appreciate that the author chose to show a woman veteran as I feel like we often see this from a male perspective. I loved Wilco; he’s an important character here, not just set dressing.

As you can tell from the book blurb, there are some graphic descriptions of injuries related to the current crimes, as well as Brynn’s time in the military.

I knew nothing about Irish Travellers prior to reading this book and the details, including how the clan has to deal with prejudice, make for a difficult collision of Brynn’s family and her work. This is the first book I’ve read in this series and, unfortunately, I do feel like I need to go back and read the first two in the series in order to really understand the character relationship dynamics. I hope that reading the series in order will give me a broader understanding of this ethnic group. So I’m stopping now and I anticipate coming back in the future once I’ve read the first two books.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. The opinions in this review are honest and my own. #ShatteredJustice #mystery

I love this series so much. Brynn is such a strong character and who couldn't love Wilco? I'm torn on wanting another or thinking this book has taken the story as far as it can go. I put my faith in Susan Furlong either way because if another appears I'm sure it will be great and I'll have to read it. If not I'm glad I got to experience these wonderful, hard to put down books.

This is the third book in the series which looks interesting written up by Marilyn Stasio in the Feb 22, 2020. Good scores throughout the three book series.
Got a review of my pick of this from Susan Furlong, the author and about six other people.

[Jeanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

What am I? The question and answers I'd heard my whole life passed through my head -half breed, loser, weirdo, gypsy, whore, scarred, and only half a woman but the the one that stuck with me was the one that was the most accurate. Damaged.

Brynn Callahan comes from a long line of Irish Travellers. Descendants of nomadic Irish who settled in a Bone Gap outside of McCreary, Tennessee. Most of the town people call her kind Pavees. Byrynn along with her dog and partner in crime Wilco who served with her in Afghanistan. She and her dog both serve now in the local police department with the baggage they both brought from the war. They both are damaged but they have loyalty to each other that few ever find. Out with girls, a fellow Pavee is last seen with a missing male dancer and parts of body is found later with a note. Hear no evil. What does her friend know about the missing person.

A girl and her dog now must find out why a local dancer was targeted. With Brynn's past of addiction, hiding her pain, trust issues, and her people being of accused, she and Wilco look for more clues. As another body part is found, with another note, speak no evil, the questions begin to be how are the two related. The crime becomes more about a personal vendetta. Brynn is also dealing with personal issues of family and relationships that play into the case at hand.

Shattered Justice is about shattered lives. Byrnn and the people she is in community with. She picks her battles and is loyal to the ones she fights for. Including herself. I was won over with the character development as she fought her own demons and fighting for the truth.

A Special Thank you to Kensington Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

Another welcome addition to this fascinating series

This is the third book in the Bone Gap Travellers series. I have loved all the books to date but this is my favorite so far.

Brynn Callahan is a deputy in the Investigative Unit with the McCreary County Sheriff's Department but she is also a member of the Irish Travellers, a close-knit community that is looked down upon by the rest of the "settled" people in Bone Gap, Tennessee.

She is also an ex-Marine that was injured in the Middle East along with her cadaver dog, Wilco, by an IED. Both her and Wilco suffer from PTSD and she tends to over medicate with booze and prescription pain meds. But she's trying to do better, actually starting to attend AA meetings.

This book, like the others, has plenty of action. An old friend makes another appearance and, as always seems to be the case, people start turning up dead in and around Bone Gap. This was a very twisty story that kept me guessing and had a few different surprises in it.

I admire Brynn's character, damaged as she is. She loves her family and her dog and would do anything for them.

I'm already looking forward to the next book and this one doesn't even get published for a couple more weeks. Darn.

I received this book from Kensington Books through Net Galley in the hopes that I would read it and leave an unbiased review.

Another excellent, taut mystery, 3rd in the Bone Gap Travelers series. Brynn Callahan straddles two distinct communities in rural Tennessee, Irish Travelers (also known as gypsies or pavees) and the "settled" communities. Having escaped this hostile and suspicious environment as a teenager, she returns as an ex-Marine with PTSD and with Wilco, her bone cadaver searching dog with his own war injuries. Previous books painted and exposed the cultural norms dividing the region. This one acknowledges them but dives immediately into a twisty tale. When bloody ears are found, Brynn and Wilco search for the rest of the body and and some answers. The answers then lead straight back to the Travelers. While this book works as a standalone, denying yourself the rich background and pivotal mysteries in the first two books would be your loss. Highly recommended!

Shattered Justice by Susan Furlong is the 3rd book in the Bone Gap Travellers series. Brynn Callahan is an ex marine now working for the McCreary County Sheriff in her home town of Bone Gap, Tennessee. Travellers or Gypsies live in Bone Gap and Brynn grew up a Traveller, so she understands their ways. When body parts, like human ears hanging on the monkey bars, start showing up, Brynn is determined to find out who is doing this and why. Brynn has a lot of issues after being injured in the Marines, along with her dog Wilco,who is a body tracker. Brynn has spend most of the time drinking and popping Vicodins, and making poor choices, but she working hard to get and stay clean. This book had me hooked from the beginning, I do plan on reading the next book in the series, I highly recommend this book/series.

Shattered Justice is the third book in the Bone Gap Traveller’s Series. I absolutely love this series and felt like I was back with a friend. I was so immersed into the story that putting it down at night to go to sleep was very difficult. Brynn lives her life between two different communities. The settled community working for the McCreary County Sheriff and the Irish Traveller’s, other names pacers or gypsies. She is an ex Marine with a lot of baggage.
Drinking and pain pills have been a problem, but Brynn is working on staying clean and sober.
When body parts start showing up Brynn with the help of Wilco her dog start searching for answers.
Another excellent book in this series!
Highly recommend!
This book can be read as a stand alone, but suggest reading the first two.

Bone Gap Tennessee is the setting for Susan Furlong's Shattered Justice. Many items are addressed in this novel. Addiction, Past hauntings, and a wounded vet and her dog sniffing out the murder trail. Third in the series but works fine as a stand-alone.

I had to jump into this as soon as I finished the 2nd book. I couldn't put it down, and had hoped that the author was planning another book in the series (but at the moment it doesn't look like it). I totally recommend this trilogy especially if you like K-9 police procedurals!

[Kristina Anderson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Shattered Justice by Susan Furlong is the third A Bone Gap Travellers Novel. I have not read the other books in this series and I did feel I was missing important details especially at the beginning of the story. I picked up Shattered Justice because I enjoyed the author’s A Novel Idea Mystery series (written as Lucy Arlington). Shattered Justice is not what I expected. I like that Brynn Callahan is a veteran along with her dog, Wilco. They both suffered injuries in an explosion and, understandably, have PTSD. Poor Wilco suffers from nightmares as does Brynn who has been self-medicating with large quantities of alcohol and pain pills. If Brynn wants to keep her job, she need to give up both and begin attending AA meetings. I was not a fan of Brynn. My main reason is she feels she can take the law into her own hands (plus her addictions, attitude, etc.—felt like a cliched character). It was interesting to learn about the Irish Travellers or Pavee as they prefer to be called. It is a terrible shame that people are prejudiced against them because of their heritage. The mystery was complex with active investigating. I liked the action which helped propel the book forward which was helpful since the pacing was slow. The mystery can be solved before all the clues are revealed. As the law enforcement professionals uncover evidence, there are some descriptions that are best not read while eating (fair warning). Shattered Justice does contain graphic violence along with foul language and spousal abuse. My favorite character in the story is Wilco. I found him to be sweet and courageous. It is amazing what dogs can accomplish with training. As you can tell, Shattered Justice was not a good fit for me. Shattered Justice is a grim, tension filled story with a disturbed killer, surprising secrets, a clever canine, the amazing Appalachian, a dogged deputy, and a caring granddaughter.

Talk about an intense story! I was shocked with how it ended. Definitely not a happy one! With a new serial killer on the loose, Brynn must also deal with what's going on with Doogan, Dublin and Gran. It all pretty much gets wrapped up in the end with me only guessing one or two small things. I think this is the end of this series but I would definitely read more books with Brynn and Wilco if they are written!!

Shattered Justice by Susan Furlong
Bone Gap Travellers #3

Well done addition to the series that sees Brynn Callahan wrestling with demons that are not easy to beat. She and her dog, Wilco, were together when they were injured by an IED, both suffer flashabacks and PTSD and they rely on one another to remain grounded when triggers are pulled.

Brynn has grown up in the Traveller/Pavee community but straddles the cultures of her childhood and those they called The Settled. She has suffered and seen much with loyalty sometimes divided between her “people” and the people she works with. She has coping mechanisms that have caused her boss to require her to attend AA whether she thinks she needs to or not and that is a deeply embedded bit of her life and also it would seem of the Pavee. This is a murder mystery but it is so much more!

What I liked:
* The telling of the story – hooked me and kept me interested
* The sense of family being there for one another
* Brynn – flawed and damaged as she is
* Wilco – a K-9 companion in more ways than one – a dog that will not give up...just like the woman he lives with
* The twists and turns and surprises
* The slow revelation of who everyone was and what they had been doing
* The men who care for Brynn...even when she doesn’t realize it
* Wondering what will happen to Brynn in the future and how she will get her life together – I really hope she does
* Hoping it won’t be a LONG time till book four comes out

What I didn’t like:
* The bad guys I was meant not to like
* The prejudice and bigotry that exists in life and in this story
* The grim reality of the lives of some of the people in the story

What I want to know:
* More about the private militia – Viper seems to be a person that might be interesting to hear more about
* How Brynn will get her act together
* What will happen to some of the women Travellers mentioned in this book
* What will happen next

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Shattered Justice, the third book in the Bone Gap Travellers Series, is filled with exciting twists and turns on every page. Deputy Sheriff Brynn Callahan and her dog, Wilco, have found themselves involved in another grisly crime scene when a pair of ears are found on the local playground with "Hear No Evil" written above them, but where is the body? As the investigation progresses, Brynn has a run in with a deadly enemy from the past, Katie Doogan. Struggling with her sobriety, Brynn feels like the world is on her shoulders with her grandmother in a nursing home, after suffering a stroke, an investigation that seems to be going no where, trying to keep her grandmother's crime hidden, and then her ex lover, Kevin Doogan, returns to tell her that his wife Katie is out to hurt her. How much more can Brynn take? Will the secret of her grandmother's crime finally come out? Will Katie Doogan succeed in taking everything and everyone that Brynn loves away from her? Who is behind the disappearance of two Bone Gap residents and what is the meaning behind it all? Author, Susan Furlong continues to mesmerize me with the suspenseful novels she writes. This is a series that will keep you on the edge of your seat and begging for more!

Shattered Justice is the first book that I’ve read by Susan Furlong. Also it’s the 3rd in the Bone Gap Travellers Series. I didn’t realize it wasn’t the start of the series, but that did not stop me from enjoying it. Yes, there are mentions of previous things, but provided enough info so I wasn’t lost. We follow Brynn a former Marine turned deputy sheriff who is also an Irish Traveller. There is a horrific murder that she’s trying to solve along with happening with her own people. Twists and turns right to the end that I didn’t see coming! I definitely want to go back and read from the beginning.
