review 1: This is one of those books that's tough to classify. It's about a murder, so it's partly a detective story, but mostly it's a story about loneliness and the search for its antidotes--friendship, love and intimacy. Holly Goddard Jones animates her characters with beautifully descriptive writing, evoking the sights and smells of life in this small Kentucky town. It's a heartbreaking story on multiple levels.
review 2: I couldn't decide between 3 and 4 stars, so maybe 3.5 is the true rating. I had high hopes for it because Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl, Dark Places) gave it a glowing review, but it fell a little short of those small town dramatic mystery novels. The author had some very well-written character development and internal monologue for the characters, the m... moreain thing that fell short for me was the plot. It felt like it was building up to something that never really took hold for me. With that being said, I would still recommend this to a friend who enjoys literature in the same realm as it gives that great look into small town USA in the early 90's. less
