I've followed Tawni O'Dell down many roads since her first novel, and "One of Us" points her in a different direction. This is a novel that will engulf you completely, with conflicted characters, a taut sense of place and smartly-wrought plot. It's satisfying and creepy as all get out. Enjoy this novel with the lights on.

I received a free copy from NetGalley. Returning home to a small town and getting drawn into its secrets. A murder, ghosts, and a lot of brand names to show how much he has made it in the world once he left the small town. Miners and ghost hunters were a different combination of characters. It was okay.

I liked this book because O'Dell is an excellent writer. I didn't love the subject matter, but overall it is a good mystery with a lot of suspense.

This was right up my alley. Dark, twisted family drama. A main forensic psychologist who studies serial killers. A town with secrets. Dr. Sheridan Doyle may be a successful & esteemed forensic psychologist now, but he's never completely left behind his previous life as Danny Doyle, a boy from a mining family who had a difficult and at times terrifying childhood. When he returns to his hometown to visit his grandfather, he comes across a dead body and teams up with Rafe, who he knew before he left home and who is now a police detective, to determine what happened. In the process family and town secrets are revealed. And that fine line between mental illness and evil - how do we determine which one we're dealing with when it confronts us? I enjoyed this one a lot. It was dark and atmospheric, and it made me think.
My thanks to Netgalley and Gallery Books for providing a copy for an unbiased review.
