The Charlotte Winters series comprises three mystery thrillers following its titular investigator through cases involving missing and endangered women. First Girl Gone and Girl Under Water both appeared in 2020, with Watch Her Sleep completing the trilogy in 2021.
The series shows McBain and Vargus applying their thriller instincts to a more grounded mystery format. Charlotte Winters operates without the FBI resources of Violet Darger, giving these books a more personal, small-town feel while maintaining the suspense and pacing the authors are known for.
