Detective Kim's boss has a wicked sense of humor. After closing their last case he decides to send them to a body farm as a reward. While their on tour and learning about the various stages of body decomp and bug infestation on them, Kim follows a trial of a huge fly mass and finds a recent dead body. After some research we learn it is a body and this woman died violently.


After removing this body and searching the area they discover another body. As they search for connections to the two bodies another victim is found. The connection between these victims traces back years to a bullying incident. Kim and her team work this case diligently and writing reflects a very detailed police procedural.

Another case is in the background but still being worked by her team. It is hampered because the killer has taken the fingers of the dead and the body has been decomposing for quite a while.

This book starts out a little stiff as the author gets all the details and people in place. Once that happens it is not able to be put down book. As the reader realizes the connections between the victims and who is the killer, you are in for a non stop thrill ride to the last page.

I like how the author for a moment thought about giving Kim a romantic interest but shut it down quickly. Kim has a lot of baggage and is probably better living a quiet life but not lonely. She has a rescue dog.
