Books like Secrets to the Grave

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.
