After reading and loving Montana 1948, I found this book to be disappointing. A small-town sheriff becomes obsessed with covering up an apparent infidelity by the high school principal and one of his students. The couple are both killed in a car accident, and the sheriff feels compelled to cover it up with an elaborate story involving the principal's son, a classmate of his father's teen-aged lover. Although well written, there were too many incongruities in the sheriff's character and actions to make the plot believable; however, the irony of the ending is noteworthy.

I've never read this author before, but was very pleasantly surprised. I liked this book - not at all predictable! Set in the 1950s and in a small western town, this tale has twists and turns, intrigue, and an unexpected ending. Well done and I would read more by this author.
