The Fields by Erin Young
4.0
This book is a strong beginning for a new series. The author doesn't shy away from gory detail. The characters grow as the story progresses and everything ties together nicely at the end. I really felt that things began to come together when I was half way through.
The plot seems to be going in a couple, independent directions, at once. First there is the person history of the main character, Riley, as she struggles with the memories that haunt her, brought fresh to the surface by the murder case she is investigating.
Second, is the murder case itself. Chloe, a childhood friend of Riley, is gruesomely murdered, the body found in a corn field. Soon after another body is found. There appears to be a vicious serial killer starting his career in this farming community and Riley is afraid the FBI behavioral agents consulting on the case, will end up taking it from the local law enforcement.
Third, there is the political corruption fueled by greed. All these loose threads do tie together.
Thank you to Netgalley and Flatiron books / MacMillan for the opportunity to enjoy this engaging police procedural e-ARC.
