I really enjoyed this thriller! I loved how the main character was female & how it also drops in and out of lots of other characters. This really reminds me of detective dramas on tv such as Mare of Easttown. I’m excited that this may be the first book in the series so will definitely be getting the next one! Really enjoyed and thought the whole agriculture concept was quite unique and not like other thrillers I’ve read. Do look up trigger warnings!

Who knew corn could be so thrilling? THE FIELDS starts with a grisly bang and doesn't take its foot off of the gas from then until the heart-pounding conclusion. Sergeant Riley Fisher is surprised when a woman's brutalized corpse is found in a local cornfield--she's even more startled when the victim turns out to be her teenage best friend and again when other bodies begin piling up. What unravels is a thrilling mystery with an ever-expanding cast of suspects and ever-increasing stakes. A taught domestic thriller and tense political thriller rolled into one, THE FIELDS is the very promising start to a possible series of Riley Fisher novels. I'm sure I'm not the only one excited to see Riley tackle the darkness of her past!
