She is most famous for her bestselling thriller series, Will Trent, which is now one of the most popular network shows since its screen adaptation debuted in 2023.
Led by Ramón Rodríguez, the brilliant Will Trent has been many people’s first introduction to Slaughter, and they haven’t looked back.

The sisters still live with the effects of a traumatic event that happened two decades prior, and when another violent attack takes place in their hometown of Pikeville, Georgia, their demons come flooding back. The series premiered on November 12 on Peacock, and the first reviews are already in. At the time of writing, The Good Daughter has earned an average score of 67% on the review site Rotten Tomatoes.
