A Deeper Sleep<\/a><\/em> (2007) Dana Stabenow<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kate Shugak has been helping the state build a case against Louis Deem. According to everyone in the park, deep has gotten away with murder several times, but his good looks and reputation (and threats from his friends) have gotten him off time and time again, and the women he abuses refuse to testify against him. As Deem has gotten off time and again, Kate and her neighbors have come to believe that nothing is going to take him down. But each time he comes to trial, there’s a hope that this time things will be different.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Kate and Jim Chopin are still trying to figure out their relationship, and adding a local murder to the mix isn’t helping anything.<\/p>\n

Since I had the background of the previous book behind me, I didn’t feel completely lost when I started A Deeper Sleep<\/em>. Yes, there are events in the past that I’ve missed, but we’re given enough details that we know what happened without having to have lived through it. So I had a much easier time starting this book than the previous.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this book is also about the secrets that people keep for each other and from each other. Jim and Kate both learn the secrets of others, and are unwilling to share those secrets with each other. In a way this is a good thing, since it makes them trustworthy, but in another way it does put up small barriers and make communication difficult.<\/p>\n

The more I read, the more I like Kate. She’s a tough woman, but she flaws on the side of compassion, which–to me–make her far more admirable.<\/p>\n

I am definitely enjoying this series, and although I’m not sure about going back and reading previous books (it seems as if she’s had a lot of terrible things happen to her in the past) I definitely want to keep reading forward.
