The dreaded "census man," seemingly innocuous, is an unwelcome presence to those members of this secretive community who would prefer to keep their business to themselves. Meanwhile, thriller writer Beth Rivers has received her own unexpected company: her mother. The last Beth heard, Mill Rivers had gone underground in search of Beth’s kidnapper, and Beth can't help but be a little alarmed at her appearance: If Mill was able to track down her daughter, who knows who else might be able to?Beth doesn't have time to ponder this for long, after a battered woman stumbles into the town bar one night, and her husband is found dead the next morning. Suspicions immediately turn to the census man, but when he, too, goes missing, everyone in Benedict—including the police chief—is suspected, and Beth and Mill must work to uncover the truth.

"I’d give this book in the series a 3.75/5 stars. The continuity is still present, and you unravel more information about the citizens of Benedict and unpack more mystery of the known characters. I would say though I felt the ending was somewhat anticlimactic in a sense that all that had happened was explained by “they told me this happened.” So in the end a lot of the events that transpired not in the perspective of the main character was explained in one page and then it’s all over. And that leaves a lot of uncertainty as to whether it was an intentional mystery of “he said/she said” or if the author wanted to speed it all up and end the book. I’ll tell you that this present day storyline does not travel further into the series so to me it was bluntly ended instead of explained. I still believe it is a great book, I just feel the ending did not really satisfy the suspense."
