Where the Dead Sleep by Joshua Moehling
3.75
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Have you read Joshua Moehling’s debut novel, And There He Kept Her? If you have and you enjoyed the crime thriller, then you should check out the sequel, Where The Dead Sleep.

I actually liked the sequel more than I did the first book. Both books follow Sheriff Deputy Ben Packard, who works in a small and typically quiet town. The sequel picks up where the first book left off. The current investigation is into a home invasion that resulted in murder. 

Overall, this series was just ok to me. I rated the first book 3 stars and the sequel 3.75 stars. I believe that overall most people will enjoy the read. I just read tons of crime thrillers and this series does not blow me away. Beware, the second book does end on a cliffhanger.

Thank you to @dreamscape_media and @netgalley for allowing me to listen to the audiobook of Where The Dead Sleep ahead of publication in exchange for my honest review.
