Reviewers praised the characters’ complexity and psychological realism, as well as the novel’s tight pacing. The first novel in Cain’s series received positive reviews, but it was actually the second installment, “Sweetheart,” that got the most glowing accolades. As the investigation progresses, however, Sheridan comes to realize that to solve the murders, he’ll need Lowell’s help. When a new serial killer springs up in Portland, Sheridan returns to work in order to head up the investigating task force, tailed by a young reporter named Susan Ward. He visits Lowell in prison every week, ostensibly in order to get her to reveal the locations of her victims’ bodies. “Heartsick” follows Portland detective Archie Sheridan, who is currently on leave after being captured and tortured by the prolific serial killer Gretchen Lowell two years previously. (NBC also optioned another of Cain’s novel’s “One Kick,” for a potential series that never developed.) Now, it seems that Scott Free is giving it another go on the big screen. Allison Gillogly is producing.īack in 2012, FX ordered a pilot script for a series based on Cain’s novels, with the adaptation to be penned by Mikko Alanne. We’re hearing that Scott Free Productions is putting together a movie based on HEARTSICK, the first novel in Chelsea Cain’s thriller series about fictional serial killer Gretchen Lowell.
