This book is hard to review without giving too much away but one important thing is... if you are reading it and wondering if it is going to get better... yes, it does so stick with it. It started out okay but there was nothing spectacular. There are murders being committed in a disturbing way in a modest town where things like this do not happen. We have the local sheriff who is also the town's priest trying to figure out who could possibly be doing this to such innocent people. Along the way we see day to day life in a small, rural town and we also get a lesson in Indiana food (which I enjoyed). This was all good but I was starting to think that it wasn't going to be a great book if we don't get more... and then it happens. BAM! Out of nowhere (at least it was that way for me). After that I was impressed. The book took a whole other turn was it was crazy. Enjoyed it and really liked the way it ended. Look forward to reading more by this author.
