The smaller the town, the bigger the secrets.
Detective Amanda Steele stops just inside the doorway, recognizing the victim’s face instantly. He seems so vulnerable in death; soft, human, even harmless. But she can never forget the evil he has inflicted. Her heart is hammering as she remembers her precious daughter, with her red curls and infectious laugh, and how she was lowered into that little grave…
It’s been five years since Detective Amanda Steele’s life was derailed by an oncoming drunk driver. The small community of Dumfries, Virginia, may have moved on from the tragic deaths of her husband and daughter, but Amanda cannot. When the man who killed her family is found murdered, she can’t keep away from the case.
Fighting her sergeant to be allowed to work such a personal investigation, Amanda is in a race to prove that she can uncover the truth. But the more she digs into the past of the man who destroyed her future, the more shocking discoveries she makes. And when Amanda finds the link between a silver bracelet in his possession and the brutal unsolved murder of a young woman five years ago, she realizes she’s caught up in something darker than she ever imagined and suspects that more girls could be in danger.
But as Amanda edges toward the truth, she gets closer to a secret as personal as it is deadly. Amanda has stumbled upon a dangerous killer, and she must face some terrible truths in order to catch this killer – and save his next victim as she couldn’t save her own daughter…
A gripping, page-turning thriller full of mystery and suspense. Perfect for fans of Rachel Caine, Lisa Regan and Robert Dugoni.

Editorial Reviews for The Little Grave
“Great first book in a new series, and I’m now looking to get my hands on the rest…That was intense.”
“Carolyn Arnold’s newest series opens with a heart-pounding mystery with a less than perfect detective… Amanda is a character that evokes sympathy and respect. I can’t wait to read what happens next for her.”
“You know those books you tell yourself you’re only going to read a little bit of before bed and then end up reading the whole thing instead? This is one of those books.”
“There were many interesting twists to the story, especially who the real murderer is… The series is off to a good start.”
I loved this book. It’s a good start to something that has the potential to turn into a great series.
“Thrilling…with an unexpected ending.”
“The storyline flowed really well and was filled with lots of great detective work. The story got more chilling the further I got into the book.”
“Throughout the novel, there are twists and turns that lead us down very dark paths. This book is an intense page-turner that is, at times, heartbreaking.”
“I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! Amanda Steele is one heck of a detective, and I cannot wait to see where Arnold takes her next!”
“A good police procedural not to mention a hunt for a very cold killer. Corruption, tension and suspense. A really good crime thriller and the start of a new series and I can’t wait to read more.”
“I am delighted that this is going to be a series with Detective Amanda Steele. Great storyline, great characters. Loved it.”
“Great storytelling and it really engrossed me so much so that I read it in one go one afternoon.”
