Number five in the Grant County series by Karin Slaughter. This one has another thrilling story line. A girl buried alive in the woods, a religious cult, weird wacky characters, more secrets revealed by the main characters, and more problems for Lena. And even more important, less of the Jeffrey/Sara soap opera. I really like this series for the wonderful story lines that the author includes. They have twists and turns, some endearing characters, some that you love to hate, the villains are sufficiently horrible. I also like the way that the book titles in the series do double duty as both an indicator of the thriller story line as well as the ongoing story of the main characters. BUT PLEASE: Sara and Jeffrey need to grow up. Their story line just reminds me too much of a storyline that you would see on All My Children, Days of Our Lives, or some other soap opera. I could really do with out that aspect of the stories. 3.5 stars.
