Ann Marie asked Linwood Barclay:

Hi I have not started reading the Promise Falls Trilogy but I just started reading Parting Shot and chapter 2 references the trilogy, is Parting Shot a stand alone novel? Do I need to read the trilogy first?

Linwood Barclay Parting Shot is very much a standalone novel. But because it is set in Promise Falls, and comes a year after the events of the trilogy (which were HUGE) I felt it wouldn't be realistic to think everyone had forgotten about what happened. It couldn't be ignored. But I tried to write Parting Shot without any spoilers for those who'd not read the trilogy. Hope that helps.
