Deeper Than the Dead

I haven't read a Tami Hoag novel in over a decade as life got in the way. I'm so happy that this was my re-entry book into her world. I thought I knew who did it, and kept doubting my resolve with each chapter. The end left me wanting more. I finished reading this book at work because I couldn't wait until I got home tonight. Definitely a good one.

Yeah, I was starting to question how much I was enjoying this book from about 20%-40% of the way through the book, but I really ended up liking most of the characters (especially Vince and Anne) so

I'm a little confused by the ending, but I'm assuming Janet knew what was going on because Peter kept giving her the jewelry of the dead women. When he was about to get SNATCHED, she wanted to throw away all of the jewelry that Tommy ended up finding and then she finally throws it all into the ocean in the end. Maybe she didn't know at first ... but I'm not about to give her the benefit of the doubt

Feeling really bad for Tommy but hoping he gets justice in a later book

I liked the ending as well. The whole thing read much better than a lot of serial killer books out there now, which are super tropey and don't really pull the reader in at all. This one does a good job of keeping things fresh/unique and giving you enough likable characters to have someone to cheer on AND keep you guessing.
