Night Sins (Deer Lake)
A peaceful Minnesota town, where crime is something that just doesn’t happen, is about to face its worst nightmare. A young boy disappears. There are no witnesses, no clues—only a note, cleverly taunting, casually cruel. Has a cold-blooded kidnapper struck? Or is this the reawakening of a long-quiet serial killer?
A tough-minded investigator on her first, make-or-break case . . . A local cop who fears that big-city evils have come to stalk his small-town home . . . Together they are hunting for a madman who knows no bounds, to protect a town that may never feel safe again.

This is my first Tami Hoag novel. I liked the fast pace of the events but thought that the love interest between the lead characters moved much too quickly (they were dissecting their attractions towards each other on their first meeting!). Too, this is one of those novels that has the leading lady doing daring but idiotic deeds (she knows what's best and bedamn the consequences), a character trait that makes my brain itch. But these are my own personal pet peeves. On the whole, a pretty decent novel that will have you guessing Whodunnit from the beginning.
I grabbed Night Sins by Tami Hoag from my stacks to try and read more of the books I own. This is from WAY back.
Published in 1995, just a year after I graduated high school, this felt so old. All of the male characters, even the one you were supposed to like, were obnoxious. And obnoxiously sexist. Ah, the 90s. We don't miss you.
When a little boy goes missing in a small town, the chief of police drags his feet a bit because this doesn't happen in his town. BCA agent Megan O'Malley pushes hard to find the little boy. I really cheered on Megan, she was a great character and the only one that was worth rooting for. Weird ending, however, but it looks like there are a few follow-up books that may explain things.
