How Deep is the Body? is the third book in the Jake and Mallory thriller series by Ivanka Fear, but it’s the first one I’ve read. Although I probably would have appreciated the character arcs more if I’d read the other books first, the author provided enough backstory for me to follow the plot and enjoy the mystery.

The setting is a small, close-knit Ontario community, where bitter weather is common during the late December holiday season. The author does a great job of making the reader feel the arctic chill from the frozen landscape. Jake and Mallory, a newly married couple with their first baby on the way, reside outside of town in a renovated farmhouse that once belonged to Jake’s grandfather. The couple has had some trust issues in the past, but they are basically in a good place now. They love each other and are committed to making a good life for themselves, despite whatever curveballs are thrown their way.
