review 1: I enjoyed this book despite some faults. The characters are fun and well-developed and the plot was interesting with some unexpected twists. My favorite scene involved the minor characters that were making apple brandy. The plot did have some clunky places and I didn't feel that the book was well-edited. Some favorite words tended to be overused and there were some unnecessary digressions. Still a fun read set in the mountains, which is nearly always appealing.
review 2: A good story even if the writing isn't top notch. Over use of descriptive terms (count the number of times something is "rust-colored" or "blood-red") is balanced out by a good, solid mystery. The author clearly loves the landscape and ties it very well to the history of the people living there... more. The philosophical points of the story feel rushed and under-developed, and the dialogue is not brilliant--it feels obvious and clumsy. But the interior thought and observations of the narrator produce some gems. Overall, a good story in need of a better editor. less
