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.
