And the Lake Will Take Them

by Linda Norlander

I read this book while I had pneumonia - and it kept me on my toes and engaged while I was coughing my had off.

It all takes place in a small town - the sheriff is the widow of the former sheriff and he was the son of the former sheriff.  There is a lot of infighting - there are parts of the town that want to get rid of her - nepotism?  But personally it was because they were all guilty and wanted to put in their own sheriff so that way they could control the town.

We hear about her husbands death extensively - and we go back to flashbacks - she is still grieving - and on Christmas she goes back to look at dead cases - which there are four.  

Missy happens to be the current case, her father was one of the four unsolved cases - and then we have a crazy person running around (who I think was SAed and has multiple personalities).

There were so many twists and turns - and we got to  learn about the local "planned parenthood" - and Red's friends there -

At the end of the story - three of the missing cases, Missy's moms death and the crazy multiple personality case gets solved.

I would defintely give this book four stars!

I was given a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
