4.0

The second novel in the Grant County series opens with a bang (literally) and with that we are thrown into mystery with more twists and turns than a Georgia election.  Over and above the gripping and fast-paced whodunnit, we also get more insight into the characters of the main proponents in the series; something which Slaughter does without character development hampering the pace of the storyline.  There are (as always) more than one reveal, but the breadcrumbs are well-placed and the Red Hearings decently develop.  Slaughter is quickly becoming one of my favourite crime fiction authors.
