Excellent story.
Great follow-up to Deeper than the dead that takes place just a short while after the end of the previous novel. Anne Navarre and Vince Leone have married and Anne has left her teaching job to become a child advocate. A terrible murder leaves a little girl all alone so Anne and Vince take her in while Vince works with the sheriff?s office to find the killer. It's hard to think of a book that takes place in 1986 as a "period piece" but you do need to keep in mind there is no DNA analysis, no cell phones etc. Good characters and good mystery. Right up my alley.
Outstanding mystery!! Tami Hoag has never disappoint. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic series. Can't wait to read the third book.
Predictable -- check.
Boring -- check
Bad editing -- check, check, check
