Another winner from Johnson. I've now read 5 of his books and enjoyed them all. Kind of cool for me since the book is set in a town that I've gone to a couple of times. Might be a good book to start with if you've never read him, since I started with a couple of longer, more challenging reads from him. Should appeal to some mystery fans, though it can't really be classified as such.
