A very quick, fast paced suspense with characters I love.
Charlie finds herself on a sunflower farm - deep in the stalks as a hunter pushes toward the kill zone.
Casey and her team are assigned - as Emmanuel and Charlie were raised as siblings after his parents' deaths. The struggle to find any clues - beginning with determining the weapon used adds tension as another body is found. In sunflowers.
Casey and Jericho are preparing for their move to Philadelphia - following Tracy and Nichelle. They struggle with the idea of leaving the Outer Banks - their home, friends and comfort.
Very well done. Cannot wait for the next!

Detective Casey White returns, gearing up for a move back to Philadelphia now that her missing daughter Hannah has been found.
But before the move can happen Casey and her fiancée Jericho are needed to help when close friend and former colleague Emmanual calls to tell them his cousin Charlie has been murdered.
And as Casey, Jericho, Tracey and Nichelle set out to investigate they discover Charlie was found in a field of sunflowers lured there by an invite and the word 'GUILTY'
But what's Charlie guilty of? And who could've wanted her dead?
That's what Casey and the team have to find out fast, especially when Tracey finds out that someone is currently in prison for an identical crime.
And when the team learn that Charlie was a member of a high school archery team called the 'Sunflower Girls. 'They fear the killer will strike again. Unless they find them quickly.
And while the race to catch the killer was going on, I was hooked, and I had no idea who the killer was, until they were exposed. Which is what great crime fiction is all about and it's one of many reasons why I would happily recommend Their Resting Place and the series as a whole to others.
Oh! And I can't wait for book nine especially after that ending!
Thanks NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read Their Resting Place.

I am not sure I have read any of this series, but I will definitely be looking all the books up now. It fills you in with everything you need to know about the previous books in the series and I love Casey’s backstory. Her daughter, Jerico and her upcoming move make for an interesting personal life to balance with the case. The setting of the outer banks was also great. It’s one of my favorite places to vacation.
The team worked relentlessly to track down the killer. What started as one murder, turned into two with the idea there could be more. Told from Casey’s POV, the reader knows all she does as she is working the crime. The book moved at a quick pace and I did not want to put it down.
I highly recommend this read. It’s the best crime book I’ve read this year. It is on par with Lisa Regan and Angela Marsons’ series.

Another Solid Entry In Series. This is one of those police procedural, deep in series, books where you don't *have* to read earlier books first - enough of the backstory is explained to be able to follow here - but if you're a "NO SPOILERS EVER!!!!" type... read the series from Book 1. Seriously, there are references and explanations all the way back that far in this one. For the rest of us, this is a great entry into the series, yet again another with a particularly grisly murder mechanism and with equally solid relationship based drama. Spangler does well to keep every book in the series well grounded on both sides of the formula, and it continues to work well for him. This one in particular is another where there is a surprise reveal at the end such that you're going to want the next book *immediately* - I know I already do. Very much recommended.
