I try to deliver that experience every time. But I also try to layer in social issues, so if you’re looking for a message behind the text, you’ll definitely find that there. I read for fun, and I know how transporting a great book can be. I always hope readers just have a great time reading, and find something that thrills them. What are you hoping the reader will take away from reading your book? How to calculate the life span of an average roll of toilet paper. You’d also find a lot of searches for “How To” videos-like how to cut music in iMovie. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of funny videos for social media, so you’d discover where I get all of my great costumes and props. The music that accompanied them was just…fascinating. Weirdly, I got into watching burial vault videos while I was doing The Silent Wife. Hey, authors are people, too! And the internet was practically invented for cat videos. If I’m being honest? You’ll find a lot of searches for kitten porn. If I looked at your internet history, what would it reveal about you? Sometimes I’m working on a book and while I’m doing research I’m like “oh, that could be an idea for my next book.” So sometimes I might hear a fascinating detail that doesn’t work for the current story, but I’ll jot it down for a future novel. And I’m sure that there is more I’m forgetting. I spoke with a mortician and a medical examiner and a few other folks who were able to give me insight into certain topics. A doctor who advises me on all of the medical details helped to make Sara sound credible.
For this one, I spoke to detectives from the GBI (which I do for pretty much every book). I always do a ton of research for my books, and like to use first hand sources whenever possible. What was the research process like for the book? It’s been thrilling to finally write this story. I knew that I’d want to write this story but that some time would have to pass first. This book goes back in time a bit, to the Grant County Series which I finished writing in 2007 (NOTE: you absolutely do not have to read the earlier books to enjoy this book-it’s just a nod to the good ole’ days). As Will digs deeper into the past, a very disturbing picture starts to emerge.Īctually, I planned the major twist in this story over a decade ago. So you can imagine that things are going to get worse before they get better.
Unfortunately, that case has some ties to his longtime girlfriend, Sara Linton. The main character, Will Trent, is an agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and when he is pulled into investigate a prison riot, a case from the past is reopened.
