hnbb's review against another edition
3.0
Cindy M. Hogan is one of those authors that I will read anything she writes. I enjoy her style so much. I have been interested in this book for a while and was able to read it over the last couple of weeks. It has a different feel than her other books. Even so, it kept my interest from the start. I love reading mysteries. First person male protagonists are hard for me to engage with but I liked seeing the pieces coming together and wondering where his choices would take him. Hogan does a great job of making the reader feel and participate in the story.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was a lot different from the other book that I read about digging graves, seeing as that, the mystery revolved around the character that did the digging. This time, it revolved around the digger's dad.
You have to feel bad for Billy, his dad was killed in a hit and run. I have no personal experience, but honestly, of the 2 parts, the run part is the worse. If it was just a hit, then it's possible that the person can be saved. Well, it can't be just a run, but with them combined, it's less likely that the person will live, which has been demonstrated in fiction before, and now by Billy's dad.
Billy had a good team with his best friend, Henry, and Henry's cousin, Amanda. They worked well together, their strengths balanced the group out, and they were really interesting to read about. They are investigating a death, after all!
Billy gets darker and darker as the book goes on. And that's to be expected, seeing what they were investigating and all. If it wasn't a book, then I'd wish that Billy had some outlets for his feelings, something to let that out, but since it is a book, him keeping that it was conflict!
I really enjoyed reading this book, it was entertaining, and good, and I really enjoyed reading about these characters, and solving this!
