Where the Dead Sleep by Joshua Moehling
When a local man is found shot to death in his bed, acting sheriff Ben Packard finds himself with plenty of suspects, including the man's family, friends, and neighbors. At the top of the list are the man's wife and his ex-wife, sisters who hate each other. At the same time, Packard is trying to decide whether to run for election for sheriff.
Good police procedural, second in the series. Tight plotting, fast pace that will keep you turning the pages. I guessed at some but not all of the players. Packard is a multi-faceted detective: he's very good at his job, he has a three-legged rescue Corgi named Frank, he is renovating his house himself, and he knows how to cook a spatchcocked chicken, all qualities that I like in a man. He's gay, but that doesn't bother me. There is some sex, but it's low-key and not enough to make me jealous. Looking forward to the next book.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC for review.
