Where the Dead Sleep
by Joshua Moehling
A very well written police procedural about a murder that is much more confusing that it looks at the onset. Acting Sheriff Ben Packard is going to have to delve into this small town many twisty secrets if he's going to find out who actually shot Bill Sandersen. It seems like just a robbery gone wrong, but the details aren't adding up and Packard is going to have to dig through toxic relationships, family secrets, and small town drama if he's going to find out who caused Bill's death that night.
I didn't realize that until a bit into the book that it was actually a sequel, and while I'm sure I would have enjoyed small details even more having read the first, this book is also excellent on it's own. I had no trouble quickly getting to know both Ben Packard and the small town he lives in.
The cliff hanger was excellent and I went from never having heard of this author to ravenously waiting for him to write the third book!
TW: Murder, adultery, toxic family relationships, alcoholism
