Ratings and reviews

T. J. Ellison takes us back to the beginning of Homicide Lt. Taylor Jackson. For those of you who have not read this particular series, I would absolutely recommend starting with FIELD OF GRAVES and then reading the series. If you have read the series, then sit back and enjoy this excellent edition. Working out of Nashville, Tennessee, Taylor Jackson is just returning to work after forced time off. She inadvertently ran across a group of dirty cops and before she could report it, one of them attacked her and she shot and killed him in self defense. She's been cleared of all charges, but she's still struggling with panic attacks and nightmares. Today, Taylor is charged with the investigation of the death of a college student. They barely identify her when another body of a college student is found. No rhyme, no reason and no apparent connection between the victims. Autopsies (this is where the reader is introduced to Dr. Samantha Owens, ME) show that they both ingested a rare poison. Taylor's boss brings in former FBI Profiler Dr. John Baldwin on a consultation-only basis. John is battling his own demons and he hasn't quite decided if he wants to continue living. As Nashville becomes concerned with a serial killer on the loose, another college student goes missing. I've been a fan of this series for several years and I love the characters. The author has humanized them .... given them flaws and warts. Following this series shows the reader how they have grown. They stumble now and then, but seem to always get back on their feet to become stronger than they were. It was really fascinating to see the beginning of these characters ..... The crime mystery is finely drawn. So easy to get lost when you're in this world of Ellison. Following the clues along with the detectives will leave you breathless as they race to save his latest victim before its too late. Many thanks to the author/ and to Libby Fischer Hellmann who interviewed J. T. Ellison and furnished an Advanced Readers Copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
