A compelling, exceptionally satisfying story set in a comfortable and embracing atmosphere. The characters are easy to like, the setting in Vermont is inviting, and the plot twists often enough to keep the reader guessing till the last of the last words are written. This is not what one might call a conventional mystery, rather a story of conflict and care. Chris Bohjalian has done a remarkable job of keeping the touch light enough amidst a rather brooding problem. There is even the lightest sense of humor when it is needed most. A great read
