Loved the setting and premise of this Iowa set mystery. Reminded me of the how setting played a role in The Dry, set in the Outback.

Thanks to the publisher for making this available for Goodreads Giveaway! I received this ARC a for free through the giveaway. This is a gritty police procedural that starts with a death in a corn field. More bodies pile up, and the book reveals a conspiracy far beyond the local farms. I found it really interesting to read about big Agriculture and the political forces at play around the farms.

Solid read as far as thrillers go with a turn towards the far fetched in the last act
