Do you have a new book coming out in 2020? I have practically read all of your books and I need another one!!!
Eric Rickstad Hi, Thanks for asking, I know this was from a while ago, and I never got back, but I do have some very exciting book news to share soon. I have been writing non stop and I hope you'll like the news!

Hi, this is not your usual question. I've just started reading your novel The Silent Girls and it really drew me in. Then I read the bit (in reference to the judicial system) which said "who were these people who made such atrocious decisions? They had to be childless" It was so jarring to me and it's playing on my mind so I guess I'm wondering why you put that in there. Emma
Eric Rickstad Hi Emma, Thanks for reading and for the question. It was just one of hundreds of bits that jump into my mind as I write. Most often when I write I feel more like someone reporting as an eavesdropper on the characters lives and thoughts and emotions. Often I am as jarred as the reader at these discoveries. Cheers

Yay!!!! Looking forward to the sequel (The Silent Girls). Do you have any idea when the book will be released? How many books will there be ? Thank you :)
Eric Rickstad Hi, There will be a sequel. Writing it now. There is a prequel, LIE IN WAIT, with Sonja Test as a lead on a murder a year prior. Not sure how many there will be, but I have several in mind! Cheers, Eric

Eric - Not really a question, but wanted to say thank you so much for writing The Silent Girls. I just got back into reading and this book was just what I was looking for. Something that kept me interested and that I couldn't put down. Your book was that and more. Thanks a million. My question was going to be...will there be a sequel?
Eric Rickstad Sorry I missed this Tom! Was unaware of this part of the Goodreads site. Glad you enjoyed The Silent Girls so much. Working on a sequel now! Cheers

Does the sequel Lie In Wait refer to The Silent Girls and the end of the book at all?
Eric Rickstad LIE IN WAIT is set a year prior to The Silent Girls, and is Sonja Test's first case with her as a lead. Working on the direct sequel to The Silent Girls every day. Cheers, Eric

I just finished The Silent Girls, the ending left me absolutely stunned! When can we expect to see Frank Rath on the shelves again? And will his story become a series?
Eric Rickstad Yes. The latest Canaan Crime novel, THE NAMES OF DEAD GIRLS, continues where THE SILENT GIRLS left off. You can pre-order it today! It hits stores Sept 12.
