Tears On Her Grave

Addictive, captivating, tense, atmospheric and hard to put down! I loved so many things about Tears on Her Grave. I enjoyed how this mystery was told through dual timelines and seeing the events of the past and then jumping back to the present day. I am a big fan of books with friends sharing dark secrets and D.K. Hood delivered and then some! This book played out like a movie in my mind with the detailed descriptions, wonderfully drawn characters, the drama, and the hunt for a killer!!!!

A destructive storm has hit Black Rock Falls and the bodies of Abby Jaye and Cole Peters, two teens who have been missing for twelve years have been unearthed and found floating in the river. Their disappearance has been a mystery until now. In Abby’s hand is a fraternity pin. Sheriff Jenna Alton and deputy David Kane are on the case. Woohoo!

I loved being back in Black Rock Falls with Alton and Kane. I love their relationship, their banter, and the family life they have creating. Jenna is pregnant which gave this book a little bit of a “Fargo” feel while reading. Plus, it was a joy seeing more of Alton and Kane’s private life and plans for their family.

I enjoyed the mystery and how the investigation took place. The college friends of Abby and Cole are scrambling as Alton and Kane begin questioning them about what they remember from the night their two friends went missing. It was nice to see Johnny Raven and his K9 taking part in the investigation as well.

This book was brimming with atmosphere, tension, secrets, and danger. There is a killer out there who will stop at nothing to avoid being caught. This made for some gruesome and tense scenes which had my pulse pounding and my fingers turning the pages!

Wonderfully written, addictive, atmospheric and hard to put down! I cannot wait to read more books in this pulse pounding and thrilling series!
