When the body of a young woman is discovered deep beneath the icy waters of Lake Grant, a note left under a rock by the shore points to suicide. But within minutes, it becomes clear that this is no suicide, it's a brutal, cold-blooded murder.
All too soon, former Grant County medical examiner Sara Linton - home for Thanksgiving after a long absence - finds herself unwittingly drawn into the case. The chief suspect is desperate to see her, but when she arrives at the local police station she is met with a horrifying sight - he lies dead in his cell, with the words "Not me" scrawled across the walls.
Something about his confession does not add up and, deeply suspicious of Lena Adams, the detective in charge, Sara immediately calls in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Shortly afterwards, Special Agent Will Trent is brought in from his vacation to investigate. But he is immediately confronted with a wall of silence, Grant County is close-knit community with loyalties and ties that run deep. And the only person who can tell the truth about what really happened is dead......
Firstly I didn't know and I wish I had is that although the books are in three different series, I made the mistake of reading some of one series (the first) and then because I had books of one of the other series, I started to read those. In this book, I am completely lost with the characters because they refer to the other books before this.
Thankfully though, Karin has left details on several pages in the back of this book of the characters, their background and why she chose them and what they looked like etc as well as some drawings of locations.
Unfortunately, with a To Be Read pile as big as mine, and only a couple hours a day to read, I have not the time to start the books from the beginning, such a great shame, as she is a brilliant writer, and it would have been great to understand the characters from start to finish. But saying that I still rate this book 5/5. Brilliant.
