- John McMahon: Author of A Good Kill
An electrifying mystery featuring a troubled small-town police detective faced with three interwoven crimes that reveal sinister secrets about his community–and the deaths of his family, by the Edgar Award-and Thriller Award- short-listed author whose novels have been described by the New York Times Book Reviewas “pretty much perfect.” In the years...
A Good Kill finds Detective Marsh facing the impact of a school shooting. What drew you to write about such a challenging subject for the third book in your excellent series?
Yes, the novel definitely begins with this scene, and a lot of research went into how police deal with active shooter scenarios, a practice which itself has shifted over the years, most notably after Columbine.

How has Detective Marsh grown since your first book, The Good Detective?
To me, there’s been so much interesting character growth for P.T., and my three books function as a trilogy of sorts. Meaning, I’m always setting into place some long-lead stories (for future books), but most of the open questions in The Good Detective and The Evil Men Do are answered by the time you finish A Good Kill. So I would definitely recommend that new readers go back and start with the first book, The Good Detective, because you will notice P.T.’s arc as a character. In terms of this...

Years later she is still skittish and only allows us to pick her up in the dark at night. Tessie came to us 5 yeas ago via an organi...
