One of the worst I've ever tried to read
Terrible, boring, stiff
too many characters, just didn't start out interesting and didn't hold my interest at all
Better books out there so don't waste time on this one

First I have to let you know that I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway. Now I'm going to let you know I have to get the first book in this series, this is the 2nd.
June Lyons is a police officer in Hopewell Falls, NY, and on a routine patrol of the town she smells gasoline. Upon checking it out, she traced the odor to the Sleep-Tite factory, which had been closed for 25 years. As she approached, she noticed the flames and the blazing woman approaching her. Since June had already called for help, the paramedics and fire department arrived momentarily, and the burned woman was transported to the hospital. She fell into a coma and the police were unable to identify her due to the severity of her burns.
This problem would be enough of a mystery, since the Sleep-Tite factory had been owned by Bernie Lawler, a man who convicted of killing his wife Luisa and his son Teddy back in 1983, although their bodies had never been found. June's father had been the arresting officer and the main reason that Bernie was behind bars. Then another mystery surfaced when the clean up of the torch factory had begun. Barrels were discovered behind a sham wall, and a woman's body was in one of the barrels. Of course, the hope was that they had discovered Luisa's body, but that was not the case and the search began.
The FBI was brought in and June is teamed with Special Agent Hale Bascom. As they investigate the case, they discover that her small town has several nasty secrets, and people aren't afraid to kill to keep them secret.
