I’m absolutely not a fan of Lena in this Grant County series. Yes I feel bad for what she has gone through and terrible things seem to happen to her quite often but she is also a terrible person!! And she does terrible things and is TERRIBLE at her job. But the story and plot of solving this murder was the redeeming factor in this book because I really didn’t see the ending coming.
This book was a bit... daft.
In this book there are a spate of suicides on a local university campus in rural Georgia (USA). Sara Linton, local paediatrician, and coroner (yeah go figure) is called in and demonstrates that they were murders.
Her ex-husband, Jeffery is the Police Chief, but instead of being his usual, sensible self, he comes over all big man on campus, going off half-cocked at Lena Adams, a former deputy who holds they keys to case. The story would have been much shorter for sure, if he hadn't been such a jerk to her.
Sp all in all, not the greatest book in the series.

I am not super impressed with the storyline and character development in this one. Started off so strong with the attack on Tess, but it was downhill from there. And like god damn how many serial killers can hit this town in a year-ish period? I think this one is the most poorly rated, so I am hoping for good things in the next one or the Will Trent series.
What the fuck is wrong with Lena Adams? Her character just doesn't really make sense, especially her relationship with a white supremacist. I saw another review that described what happens to Lena in this book as torture porn and I agree. All of the books include something just completely brutal happening to her and I am over it.
Jeffrey and Sara's relationship is so great in this book and I really like their growth together. I did spoil for myself and I know that it won't last, which really sucks because I felt invested in them.
