What is it with these detective series books either starting in a weird place or taking forever to get to the actual crime? If I wanted to read a book about agriculture, I would've picked up a book about agriculture. I decided to get the audiobook from my library because I accidentally got the physical copy of the second one at the library and didn't want to feel like I was completely lost. I realize now that wouldn't have mattered because I'm still completely lost. Originally I was going to just suck it up and read the second book, but after reading the reviews of this one and how there is a apparently corn zombies I was like no.. the author officially jumped the shark
