Helpful Score: 2

I wish I could give this one 3.5 stars. For one thing, it is a hard core, down and dirty, bloody thriller that will keep you up at night. And, it kept me up till 2 am reading until I finished it. I just couldn't leave the characters hanging by putting it down.

The item that kept me from giving it more stars was the editing. There were enough errors in editing left in that I actually checked to make sure I was not reading an uncorrected proof which I could have been since my copy was a win from Goodreads (thank you so much).

The story line is a small New England town that has a young female sheriff with a secret. The town is both Amish and English as is the sheriff and now they have a serial killer that is back after a 16 year absence. The story is well written, keeps you guessing, but as I stated earlier, poorly edited. Maybe I noticed it more because I read the book all in one sitting. I would give the book a 7/10 with great points for storytelling and suspense and minuses for editing. I will definitely read the second book that will be about the same town and sheriff.
