Relation In Favor Of Books Secrets to the Grave (Oak Knoll #2)
Very enjoyable suspense story. It starts with the murder of a young single mother who is found stabbed to death multiple times, her body mutilated. Her 4-year-old daughter, Haley, is the only witness to the crime, but Haley is shutting out the memories of what she saw. The story was fast-paced and told from multiple points of view. The crime scenes were grisly and the violence graphic. This was book 2 in Tami Hoag's Oak Knoll series, so there are a lot of familiar faces from the first book, Deeper Than the Dead. It had an interesting cast of characters, as there seem to be a lot of crazies running around Oak Knoll which made for a wide variety of suspects. I enjoyed the 1986 setting, before many advances were made with DNA, forensics, computers, etc. This book could be read as a stand-alone although there were many references to events that took place in the previous book, which means there will be spoilers from Deeper Than the Dead.Mention Based On Books Secrets to the Grave (Oak Knoll #2)

Really enjoyed this book. It's the follow up to Deeper Than The Dead, so I already knew the characters. The first page hooks me: a horrific murder is committed with the woman's four-year-old child left behind. Set in the mid-eighties in the early days of modern profiling, Hoag's research is evident and her characterization is very strong. As usual, Hoag gives you several red herrings, but the villan is ferreted out by well characterized cops. Lots of sub-plots going on in the book - a newTami Hoag is my NEW Favorite Author!! She can spin a tale of suspense like no other author. Her characters are believable and convincing of their parts! This latest book "Secrets of the Grave" Oak Knoll Series #2 is going to keep you on your toes! Just when I thought I knew who was the killer, she twists the characters again and WHAM!! It ends as you never thought it would. She can combine a love story with a mystery and twist it into the most amazing Thriller story you will read!
God I love Tami Hoag! Can't get enough of her writing!!! As always, I was hooked from page one. When I wasn't reading (which I rarely get time to do with my busy schedule), I was thinking about this book! This is the first novel of hers where I actually guessed the killer though. Lots of great twists and I love these characters so much. Haley was adorable too!

I loved this book and I love the direction that TH is going with her writing. She is getting a little be closer back to those romantic suspenses that I loved so much. When a beautiful artist comes up dead, Vince Leone is once again called in to add his unique perspective to the scene. He is now married to his beautiful Anne. The See No Evil killer is in jail and awaiting his trial. All is well...or is it. Now another woman is missing and it is up to Vince and his team to find the girl and the
4.5 stars, raising to 5*In a sense this is a continuation of the first Oak Knoll book by this author, but new characters and a new murder brings other characters into view. While waiting for the trial of the first murder(er), a young artist is killed whose 4-year-old daughter may have witnessed the crime. This is more than a year after the events in Book 1, so there is follow-up on the pre-teen boy who stabbed a classmate, as well.Well written, and I kept going back and forth among the suspects
