Loved this one. Written much better than book 3.

5.0
I actually enjoy these books, which (I think) are published only in paperback. They are several notches above many hardbound mysteries coming out these days.
In this one, Jo Beth is asked to look into a 30-year-old child kidnapping and murder. The man who was sentenced for the crime has been released from prison on medical grounds and moved back to the area; he has mainained his innocence obstinately for 30 years.
Of course she figures out the knot at the center of this puzzle while at the same time running a training week for several K9 officers and running a couple of rescue operations of her own, one of which involves a carjacking and a crazy swamp woman.
The book ends, very weakly, with her ex-husband's latest attempt at torturing her to death where she nearly dies in a swamp.
Aside from that, the book was satisfying. I may have to just go on and read the rest of these.
