A different flair from my favorite author. For me it wasn't up to the caliber of his other stand alone novels such as Ordinary Grace. In some ways I am very partial to his Cork O'Connor series, so it's tougher for me to be unbiased. This one was a slow starter and takes awhile to get off the ground, and almost felt like it covered a subject that was brought to light in other novels. Still it was a fresh take with strong characters that you came to enjoy and root for. It also gave you a taste of the hard times during the depression and a huge slice of that life. If you looking for an easy read or something that might be suitable for a teen or pre-teeen this might be the book to recommend. For myself I am looking forward to the next Cork O'Connor mystery.
