In the 1950's in a small town in Minnesota, a wealthy farmer is found dead by a river. This novel is about finding his killer but also about the people in this town.... the sheriff, the folks who work at the diner, a retired lawyer who moved back to town... many more. Good guys and bad guys. The book deals with racial tension when many of the people in the town point to the Native American as the person who did the killing. Or his Japanese wife who is not welcomed there. It also touches on sexual and physical abuse towards children. Lots going on here....
This was a quick, exciting read and I do recommend it. I don't think it's the best I've read by this author but it's good. - June
