[Christine Husom · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is the fourth in the Winnebago County Mystery Series, and varies from the first three books in that it is more of a traditional mystery with some thriller elements. The first three books could be described as variations of the inverted detective stories where the reader is privy to what the bad guys are up to--something the first person protagonist Sergeant Corinne "Corky" Aleckson is not.

The Noding Field Mystery is based on my observations of how people with narcissistic personalities wreak havoc in the lives of people who love them. It opens with the Winnebago County Sheriff's Dept deputies at a scene. A naked man of about 40 is lying dead in a soybean field, his hands and feet tied to stakes. The cause and manner of death are not evident, nor is the significance of why he was left there.

There are any number of suspects, and one motive after the next is uncovered as the investigation proceeds. Then, when the guilty is brought to justice, an old nemesis returns to play in the shocking ending. Stay tuned and thanks for following the series.

I was given a copy for free in exchange for an honest review.This is the fourth book in the series. Sgt Corky Aleckson and Det Elton Davies are called to a farmers soybean field to investigate the death of a naked man found staked there. The cause of death is not clear, and why he was placed there is also a mystery. As the Winnebago Sheriffs department looks for suspects and gathers evidence they hit one dead end after another. The ending was a real shocker. A fantastic read i look forward to reading more books by Christine Husom

This is the fourth book in the Winnebago County Mystery series, but the first I've read. It opens with a man's naked body found staked out in a farm field. There is no cause of death readily apparent, and how and why the man came to be here, in what seems to be a highly staged death scene, is a mystery. Sergeant Corinne Aleckson and Detective Elton Dawes answer the call, and as they investigate further, they find few answers, but a lot more questions. Another thread to the story involves a murderer who nearly killed Aleckson in the past, and now, facing trial, escapes from prison. A highly readable mystery with intelligent cops (a breath of fresh air!)

This book really kept me guessing, and like Husom's others, was hard to put down.
