The killer was a slight surprise, as his presence in the previous books didn't indicate him being a psycho. The character development is the point, not the case. This is what I think of as a set up book. I mean, it structures the book, but it's not the primary point. It just escalates from there, the killer getting more and more careless. The first, seems odd, but there's nothing specific to point to to call it suspicious, let alone murder. So the case revolves around a number of suicides. Chuck, the head of the security, is pretty much a dick, so that doesn't help matters. So, we see her in this book at the site of what looks like a suicide working for campus security. In actuality, he gave her an ultimatum, and she gave him her badge and gun. *eye roll* Which makes no sense because he was pushing her to do it. Well, she did, but in typical Lena fashion, it was after she left and she didn't want to tell Jeffery because she thought he'd judge her. She never met Jeffery's requirement for staying on: seeing a professional. Ok, so in book 3 of Grant County, Lena has left the police force.
