Deeper Than the Dead by Tami Hoag

4.0

I think the title of this book was a little misleading to me. The author's notes at the beginning explained the meaning of it and I kept waiting for more to happen with that. It didn't take away from the story, but I kept waiting for more. I loved that she explained the challenges of writing a murder mystery set in 1985. Many of the things that she talked about were very familiar to me. It's interesting to see, in this age of CSI, VICAP, and profiling, how things were done before all of that was commonplace. 1985 was when many of those ideas were first developed. The story was well developed and I loved the love story amidst the solving of a murder. It didn't take over the story, but was an interesting part of it all.
