First off I do have to say that if you are unfamiliar with the layout and towns of Iowa, this book might be harder for you to understand. As a lot of information pertaining to certain distances between towns and descriptive scenes of life within towns are prevalent throughout this book. There is also a lot of extra history that is shared about places, events, and history of certain people. It reminded me of the way “The Grapes of Wrath” is set up.
Now, because I was born and raised in Iowa I was fully knowledgeable of everything that the author was describing. This is the advantage that I had for this book being read smoothly without any confusion. I really enjoyed reading all the mystery surrounding the events of the night of the fire. I found myself constantly second guessing myself about what “really” happened and whose body was actually found. Even more intriguing was trying to answer “Why”.

If you are a True-Crime freak {like I am} you are sure to fall in love with the history of this case.
