Jonathan Stride and his partner Serena Dial get involved in the case of baby Cassie Glenn, who has disappeared from her home. The prime suspect seems to be her arrogant surgeon father, Marcus Glenn. On the same night, young cop Kasey Kennedy gets lost in the fog and stumbles across a woman on the run from a serial killer. Despite her attempts to save the woman and catch the killer, the victim winds up dead and the killer still on the run...and now he wants Kasey to be his next victim!
Great thriller maintains its suspense from start to finish! The characters are well-developed and the dialogue is down-to-earth and realistic. These all felt like real people. There are plenty of exciting moments, particularly as the killer stalks Kasey. The plot delivers some good twists, a couple that I didn't spot coming at all! My only real complaint is in regards to Stride's post-traumatic stress relating to events in the previous book. I've read the previous book, but that was close to a decade ago and I can't remember a thing about it. No real details about what happened are given here, so it was hard to get my head around exactly what was so traumatic, and it meant Stride sometimes came across as a bit of an ineffective sadsack.
Otherwise, this is a terrific thriller, perfectly paced, reminiscent of a time before every other book in the genre centered around a silly, paranoid, unreliable female narrator.

Great quick read. The ending surprised me. I had not read other books in the series and it did not really matter to understand the characters.

Lt. Jonathan Stride is recovering since his ordeal that took place in the prior novel; In the Dark. Maggie Bei, Stride’s partner has been keeping Stride in the loop about an ongoing investigation case. The case is in regards to several women have gone missing in the past few months. Maggie has just found body number four.
Denise Sheridan works as Deputy Sheriff for Itasca. She comes to pay Stride a visit. Denise needs Stride to investigate a missing person’s case for her. Rich, surgeon, Marcus Glenn reported his eleven month old daughter, Callie missing. Denise would like to take on the case but she can’t due to a conflict of issue. Marcus is her brother in law.
Stride and Maggie will both be challenged in The Burying Place. They will have to watch their backs or they could be the next ones buried.
Another fine read by Mr. Freeman. I have read pretty much all of Mr. Freeman’s books except for In the Dark. Which I still plan on reading. I was blown away by Mr. Freeman’s debut novel, Immortal and knew that this author would be big, even before the hype really started spreading.
I could tell that I had missing a little by not reading In the Dark, as there was some reference to why Stride was on leave and recovering but nothing that really took away from this book or the story line. Speaking of story lines, this one had some well placed twists and plenty of intensity. All of the female leads in this book were strong, confident women. I liked this. Plus they matched well with Stride. Don’t let The Burying Place get buried on your tbr or wish list. Start reading this book today.

As always, another gret book by Brian Freeman. The only thing left to say is "When is the next one?!!!"
