California, 1984. Three children, running in the woods behind their school, stumble upon a partially buried female body, eyes and mouth glued shut. Close behind the children is their teacher, Anne Navarre, shocked by this discovery and heartbroken as she witnesses the end of their innocence. What she doesn't yet realize is that this will mark the end of innocence for an entire community, as the ties that bind families and friends are tested by secrets uncovered in the wake of a serial killer's escalating activity.

Detective Tony Mendez, fresh from a law enforcement course at FBI headquarters, is charged with interpreting those now revealed secrets. He's using a new technique-profiling-to develop a theory of the case, a strategy that pushes him ever deeper into the lives of the three children, and closer to the young teacher whose interest in recent events becomes as intense as his own.

Review of 'Deeper Than the Dead' on 'Goodreads'

I enjoyed this book. It's a standard mystery with good character development and premise. There were none of the “imaginary” creatures such as vampires or zombies, which I suppose are okay in their own genre, but don't belong in this standard mystery. She made the characters believable and likable. I have read the 2nd and half of the 3rd of the series, and I like them all.
