Beneath A Broken Sky

Joshua Moehling

Mystery, Detective, Crime • May 26, 2026 • Series: Ben Packard #4

Sandy Lake is in the grip of a miserable summer, and Detective Ben Packard is right in the center of the storm. A tornado has just devastated the county, bringing destruction and a shady group of storm chasers to town. But the chaos turns deadly when a local mother—infamous for defending her bullied son against the town's prejudices—is found murdered. With a massive suspect list, a surprise visitor from his past, and the pressure of navigating life as a gay man in a traditional community, Packard finds this investigation becoming dangerously personal.

5 / 5

Beneath a Broken Sky is the fourth book in the Ben Packard series and is just as good as the rest of the series.
The story is told from both Ben Packard and Charlie’s perspectives. Packard is a very lovable character. I really loved the character of Symphony and her connection to Marcus. Even though we never got to meet Marcus, he was a big part of Packard’s story, so having that connection resurface through her felt meaningful.
As for the actual investigation, it was a really interesting story that I thoroughly enjoyed. It held my attention the whole way through and balanced the police work well with the character dynamics.
