I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This is a procedural novel following a female sergeant in small town Iowa. A woman has been found, dead, in the corn fields of a small cooperative. Did someone in those fields kill her, was it the big ag company that wants to take over their land, was it her husband or best friend, and how is the governor involved? This one has it all. 

I found this one to move along slightly slower than others like it, but it didn't keep me from devouring it. Like I said, it has everything you could want in a book of this type. There are definitely some dark and graphic moments, so if you have a weak stomach, it might not be for you, but if you like that kind of thing, I would recommend this one. It defintly ended up with a situation I didn't expect and I thought it was a fantastic path to get there.
