Welcome! If you ended up here after watching the new Will Trent TV show, I’m glad you’re here. I adore these books, and am so excited for the TV show to bring them more traction. I love talking about them, and can’t wait for more fans!
As of right now, I haven’t watched the show yet, but when I do I plan on writing a comparison post between the books and the movies. I’ll link it here when it’s written.
If you’re new to this series, I strongly recommend you read the Grant County books first. I have a post of the order in which you should read them here.
Please note that expanding the spoiler link below WILL spoil the book, and may also spoil some aspects of the show. Proceed with caution if you do choose to click the link!
The Plot (from Goodreads):
When Atlanta housewife Abigail Campano comes home unexpectedly one afternoon, she walks into a nightmare. A broken window, a bloody footprint on the stairs and, most devastating of all, the horrifying sight of her teenage daughter lying dead on the landing, a man standing over her with a bloody knife. The struggle which follows changes Abigail’s life forever.
When the local police make a misjudgement which not only threatens the investigation but places a young girl’s life in danger, the case is handed over to Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Apprehension Team – paired with detective Faith Mitchell, a woman who resents him from their first meeting.
But in the relentless heat of a Georgia summer, Will and Faith realise that they must work together to find the brutal killer who has targeted one of Atlanta’s wealthiest, most privileged communities – before it’s too late.
The Review:
To come!
