Back at it with another book review for you on this beautiful Thursday! Remember when I posted about this book written by J.T Ellison? Well I went and read Field of Graves written by her and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!
Synopsis per Amazon:
All of Nashville is on edge with a serial killer on the loose. A madman is trying to create his own end-of-days apocalypse and the cops trying to catch him are almost as damaged as the killer. Field of Graves reveals the origins of some of J.T. Ellison’s most famous creations: the haunted Lieutenant Taylor Jackson; her blunt, exceptional best friend, medical examiner Dr. Samantha Owens; and troubled FBI profiler Dr. John Baldwin. Together, they race the clock and their own demons to find the killer before he claims yet another victim. This dark, thrilling and utterly compelling novel will have readers on the edge of their seats, and Ellison’s fans will be delighted with the revelations about their favorite characters.
My review:
As I am a fan of J.T. Ellison, I definitely enjoyed reading the first novel in a series of murder mystery, bone-esque type story line. For those of you that are fans of Bones, NCIS, and really any other murder mystery/police procedure shows and story lines, then this series is for you!
I appreciated the details about the characters written into the plot. When it comes to a series, in my mine it is especially important to really get a “relationship” with the main character…I hope that made sense haha. There is quite a bit of violence (obviously…it’s about a serial killer) so if that’s not your cup of tea then I recommend not giving a go.
I would definitely give this book a 4/5 rating. I love the plot, and the characters are likable. The only con for me was that the ending was a tad bit predictable for me. Ultimately, we all knew that they’d catch the killer, I figured out who the killer was about half way through before they were announced…don’t worry, I won’t spoil the ending for you. Despite the predictable aspect for me, I am moving forward with reading the rest of the series and I am excited to start the next one!
