An ambush by my mom to discuss catering my nonexistent wedding is not a fun way to spend a morning. She's no longer setting me up on blind dates; she's planning a wedding. Never have I been happier to get a call from work regarding a dead body found in a field. My name is Detective Ali Rivers with the Abernathy, Tennessee Police Department. It's my job to trudge through the evil actions people do and seek justice for my victim and their families. My partner, Jerry, and I see evil on a daily basis. This body in a field poses a multi-faceted problem. Not only are we dealing with the evils of murder, but the case takes an unexpectedly sadistic turn. We are forced to team up with a group of people who have rather fluid definitions of justice and what's socially acceptable. This case is highlighting how depraved and evil this world can be. Evil resides perfectly hidden in darkness. When it comes to eradicating that darkness, sometimes you need to have friends who walk in shadows.
Kate Kelly has done it again, but this time with a cute dog and burley men. I love how even the small stories help move the larger story along. With the relationships between command and the team, Elmer and Ali, Ali and her crocheting mum, all coming together to deliver the curve balls that is the end. I can't wait for the next installment.
