Nick returns to his small home town 12 years after leaving under a cloud, and soon two deaths have an effect on the many interrelated families.[return][return]I don't know whether it was me and the way I read it or the way that the book was written (two writers, and stories being told from multiple standpoints, which can or cant work depending), I felt this book was quite disjointed and I dont feel I got engaged fully with it.[return][return]Overall the story was good though

I picked this up at a Library book sale for $1. It starts out kind of slow but the action and mystery build quickly. Everyone is hiding something about their past and as these secrets unravel, it leads to a pretty good climax. ( )

A decent enough mystery collaboration involving sin, intrigue and murder in a small town, marred by the preposterous notion of a self-done vasectomy. Other than that, an enjoyable and guilt-free murder mystery. ( )
