Volume 2 ended with the band of travellers finding the prison - as seen on the cover there, subtract the zombies at the bottom of the picture and that was the closing image of the previous book.
In this one, fellow humans have become the biggest risk to life. There are several deaths - possibly the highest death rate so far, and all have been at the hands of another human.
Plot threads have been sewn for future storylines and there's still no sign of Daryl.
If I recall correctly, the third series of the tv show had Rick going slightly crazy in the prison. Evidence is in place that that is on its way.
Herschell is far from the nice guy he was in the tv series and is virtually psychotic. He was a god-botherer on tv, but a nice one. In the books, he's a total religious nut and violent towards his family. It's going to be real interesting to see how his storyline develops.
With a title so steeped in irony, a good tense storyline and a real cliffhanger ending, this is the best volume so far.
