I know what ...I'd be moving out of that town :)<br />I know what you mean though - those small town mysteries kind of set themselves up to have to explain that in further installments.<br /><br />I don't know about this book. I remember your other review of one of her books and the books seem quite graphic. I don't have a problem reading about violence but don't like it when you feel like the author is just doing it to see how far they can go.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-44861646312834826222011-02-08T23:54:51.441-05:002011-02-08T23:54:51.441-05:00I thought the same thing -- How many brutal serial...I thought the same thing -- How many brutal serial killers can one small town have? I'm interested in more stories with these characters, but it's got to move beyond the current setting and I'm curious to see how Castillo will handle it.SuziQoregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552565982732943323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-6281063190442853412011-02-08T21:49:05.559-05:002011-02-08T21:49:05.559-05:00I always love your reviews and your "tell it ...I always love your reviews and your "tell it like it is" snarkiness. : )<br /><br />And I agree with you ... there is only so far you can go with a small town Amish murders!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-37306944322895029742011-02-08T20:42:40.006-05:002011-02-08T20:42:40.006-05:00One of your comments really made me think: When re...One of your comments really made me think: When reading a series, how much do we overlook because of the ease of familiarity? Not that we don't like the book, but we do go in with some level of knowledge and comfort.

It's funny that you warmed up a bit towards the second book, when usually I find that books in a series tend to go downhill. I am glad to hear that you liked it, but I am hoping that the next installment is narrated by someone other than Kathleen McInerney!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-65836862838713602472011-02-08T09:19:16.413-05:002011-02-08T09:19:16.413-05:00I think I'd do better with this series in prin...I think I'd do better with this series in print.

This culture is so fascinating to me and I love to get that insight into it, which sometimes can be the best part for me. I'd like to check this one out, but will probably skip the audio version of it.
