This is the first book I've read by Andrew Rosenheim, and it was a reasonably good murder mystery. The novel has an underlying theme of small town life and the conflicting emotions experienced by the main character when he returns to his small home town in Michigan. I found it hard to believe that he finally 'gets the girl' at the end, (his highschool sweetheart) after so much turmoil and hardship over the preceding years. A tale of small-town America, dysfunctional families, growing-up, loves gained and lost, homecoming and murder. The central characters of Michael, who returns home from England when his father is murdered, and Cassie, his lost teenage sweetheart, are engaging and well developed, with a supporting cast of slightly stereotypical others - but what small-town American novel doesn't have those? A page-turner and easy read, but the revelations that gradually reveal the turmoil behind the murder are dealt out in rather a lot of pages. As a thriller, it's a bit saggy; as a family saga it's a good read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
