This was my first read from the Hush collection. They are all short stories that fall under the crime fiction genre of writing. Buried manages to touch on a few big topics in such a short number of pages. The "death" of print media, political crimes, and the way a police investigation is handled are all present in this story. I have never read anything by Deaver before, but he did a fantastic job with character development in this one and I would be open to reading more of his work in the future.
