Product Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author joins the Dutton list with the thriller her millions of fans have been awaiting for two years.
Tami Hoag is in a class by herself, beloved by readers and critic s alike, with more than 22 million copies of her books in print. With Hoag's first novel for Dutton, she proves anew why the Chicago Tribune called her "one of the most intense suspense writers around."
California, 1984. Three children, running in the woods behind their school, stumble upon a partially buried female body, eyes and mouth glued shut. Close behind the children is their teacher, Anne Navarre, shocked by this discovery and heartbroken as she witnesses the end of their innocence. What she doesn't yet realize is that this will mark the end of innocence for an entire community, as the ties that bind families and friends are tested by secrets uncovered in the wake of a serial killer's escalating activity.
Detective Tony Mendez, fresh from a law enforcement course at FBI headquarters, is charged with interpreting those now revealed secrets. He's using a new technique-profiling-to develop a theory of the case, a strategy that pushes him ever deeper into the lives of the three children, and closer to the young teacher whose interest in recent events becomes as intense as his own.
As new victims are found and the media scrutiny of the investigation bears down on them, both Mendez and Navarre are unsure if those who suffer most are the victims themselves-or the family and friends of the killer, blissfully unaware that someone very close to them is a brutal, calculating psychopath.

Nightmares 
Simply put - I'm still having nightmares from this book and it's been several weeks since I read it. I couldn't put it down when I was reading it and now I can't get the horror of it out of my mind!!!
It was alright 
I am a huge Tami Hoag fan but this book was one of my least favorite. It was good still, the killer was a nice twist as always but it was just not as thrilling as her other books.
entertaining but not perfect 
This book is standard Tami Hoag. When I'm in the mood for this type of book, she delivers -- although not without some flaws along the way. I don't like chapters from the point of view of victims of serial killers, but they were mercifully few in this book. I don't generally like books about serial killers either but this book had enough jostling among the detectives and family dramas to balance out the grisly details of the murders. Is it realistic? No way. But for what it is, it's well done.
Tami Hoag has written a real page turner...
Tami Hoag has written a real pager turner here (no spoilers). Some of her recent efforts (The Alibi Man Prior Bad Acts), in my opinion were not up to her earlier work but Deeper Than The Dead is good. The story is set in suburban California in 1985. Four elementary school children find a body on their way home from school. Their teacher, Ann Navarone, arrives on the scene to help the children with this horrific event. The murder is soon seen as the work of a serial killer. FBI profiler Vince Leone, a new and untested breed of law enforcement officer, arrives to help. Hoag presents the family life of each of the four children and we are introduced to dysfunctionality in each of these families. The children narrate the story and it is an effective method in revealing key facts in the murder investigation. The dysfunction extends to the local police department where small town politics and ignorance prevent the investigation from proceeding in an efficient fashion. All of the major characters (Ann, Vince, and most of the children's parents) have back stories that when revealed influence the investigation. Hoag is good at giving just enough clues to keep you thinking but not enough to give away the murderers identity.
One of the key plot elements is that in 1985 modern forensic techniques are not yet available. Not only does this set of circumstances limit the investigative options it also exquisitely slows the action as cell phones and internet searches are not available. All of this allows for the suspense to build. There is a love story but it is pretty thin in the telling. There were also a couple of loose ends that were not tied up, at least one unidentified skull and one untried child molester. Perhaps there is a sequel in the making that will answer some of these questions.
I enjoyed this book - read it in record time- but again am sure I will not remember the plot in two weeks time.
Audiobook Review-- Kirsten Potter Does Tami Hoag's Book Proud
This is a review of the audiobook read by Kirsten Potter. I would give Kirsten's reading of Deeper than the Dead four stars. If I was reviewing the book alone I would probably drop it to three or three and a half stars. I am still looking forward to reading the next in the series, Secrets to the Grave so I am not giving up on Ms. Hoag.
It just seemed that there was too much head hopping without a really satisfactory resolution. We go from Mendez's view point to Vince's view point,to Tommy's view point, to Wendy's viewpoint, to Ann's viewpoint, to the victim's viewpoint and to the Killer's viewpoint without a satisfactory conclusion to the experience of more than a couple of the characters.
Ms Potter's voice is cool and strong, giving weight but not portentousness to the events she narrates. She dials down the drama, which makes it tolerable to listen to even the horrendous descriptions of the things people can and will do to each other.
As for Ms. Hoag's book, as others have said, it is set in 1985. That lead to a couple of discussions with friends about what we could remember about 1985. While most of it seemed right, the one thing we couldn't resolve was whether hotels then had coffee makes routinely available. I remember running into my first "honor bar" in 1989 in San Diego at an Omni, but I'm not sure there was a coffee maker, also. Yeah, that is pretty trivial, but it's the little things that can sometimes leave you wondering or give you a satisfying feeling that you are in the past.
As I said, the focus of the book was too diffuse for my taste, but it was intriguing enough to keep me listening for the entire almost 14 hours of the audiobook. (The abridged version, also read by Ms Potter is a little over 6 hours, but I have not listened to it. I don't normally recommend abridged books of any sort.)
