This is book two of the Detective Ben Packard’s story, but can be read as a stand alone.
I loved the inclusion of a queer MC! Ben is gay and an acting sheriff in a small town in the US.
There is a bit of a slow start. It took ten chapter for me to really get invested.
Once it got going it really got going! From there the book was a series of twists and turns. I did not see the final connection!
I also enjoyed the subplot of the race for sheriff! The added conflict it brought to the table helped develop Ben’s character.
Very much like a police procedural. There was a lot of description of evidence and the investigation. I enjoyed that there was more of the case than his personal life!
I think if you are looking for a thriller that is like a non-romance slow burn, then this is the one for you!
Ending is a perfect setup for the next book!
