FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

All We Buried by Elena Taylor was a fantastic book.  This is the first book in the series, and I will be reading all of the other books in this series because of how much I loved this book.  This is the first book I have read by this author, and I know I will read more books by her in the future.  I decided to read and review this book based solely on the cover, and this is one of the few times that I loved the book more than the cover.  I liked Bet from the start of the book.  She is someone who I would be friends with in real life.  This book also has everything that I look for when I am picking a mystery book to read. The author did a great job of making me feel like I was there with the characters, and because of that, I understood the choices they made as the book went on.  This book wasn’t super suspenseful, but it had enough that kept me reading.  It was a slow start, but once it picked up, it didn’t slow down until I was finished with the book.  If you love mysteries as I do, I know you will enjoy this book as much as I did.

For fans of Julia Keller and Sheena Kamal, All We Buried disturbs the long-sleeping secrets of a small Washington State mountain town.

Interim sheriff Elizabeth “Bet” Rivers has always had one repeat nightmare: a shadowy figure throwing a suspicious object into her hometown lake in Collier, Washington. For the longest time, she chalked it up to an overactive imagination as a kid. Then the report arrives. In the woods of the Cascade mountain range, right in her jurisdiction, a body floats to the surface of Lake Collier. When the body is extricated and revealed, no one can identify Jane Doe. But someone must know the woman, so why aren’t they coming forward?

Bet has been sitting as the interim sheriff of this tiny town in the ill-fitting shoes of her late father and predecessor. With the nightmare on her heels, Bet decided to build a life for herself in Los Angeles, but now it’s time to confront the tragic history of Collier. The more she learns, the more Bet realizes she doesn’t know the townspeople of Collier as well as she thought, and nothing can prepare her for what she is about to discover.
