![]() ![]() ![]() Hutchison does an excellent job at breaking up the story so that the reader is aware of who is narrating throughout the story. The story bounces between the Garden where she is referred to as Maya and the interview room where the FBI try to piece together what has happened at the Garden where she is referred to as Inara. Maya eventually reveals that her name is Inara and the names interchange throughout the story. At first, she tells them that her name is Maya and that the man who held her and multiple other girls captive, the Gardner, gave her that name. The main characters in The Butterfly Garden are the FBI agents Vic and Eddison, and a girl who survived all of the cruel and vile things that happened at the Garden. The Butterfly Garden and The Collector Series are not for the faint of heart as Hutchison has created an absolutely haunting story that is both breathtaking and horrifying. ![]() ![]() The Butterfly Garden falls under the genres of both a thriller and a police procedural as Hutchison weaves the story through Inara’s words now in a police interview room and as she reminisces on her past, including being held as a prisoner at the Garden. The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison was released in April 2016 and it is the first novel in The Collector Series which follows the same three FBI agents (Eddison, Vic, and Ramirez) throughout the novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To the cops, it’s straightforward: the still-grieving father of Riley’s dead girlfriend killed the former prisoner. But if Riley was really innocent all along, who wanted him dead? In fact, Riley soon turns up murdered, surrounded by the loot from his latest scam. And no one is particularly happy to see him again when he’s released after The Exoneration Initiative uncovered evidence that pinned the crime on someone else. No one mourned when San Francisco DA Wes Farrell put Paul Riley in prison eleven years ago for the rape and murder of his girlfriend. The beloved New York Times bestselling Dismas Hardy series returns with this “perfect piece of entertainment from a master storyteller” (Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author) about a relentlessly twisty murder mystery. ![]() ![]() Ruckus is a complete standalone and a part of the Sinners of Saint series Rosie LeBlanc is about to find out how hard I can fight.Īnd conquering her will be the sweetest victory.

This book was the whole enchilada! I’m the first one to say I was wrong when I am wrong.
