Readnmachine avatar reviewed on + 1440 more book reviews


The violent murder of a young woman in a small Ozarks town twines together the lives of three women -- the murdered girl's stepmother, the neighbor who found her, and the police detective investigating the case.

It's not exactly a murder mystery -- the identity of the murderer is pretty obvious early on -- and the books' real meat lies in the investigation of the internal lives of these women and what the crime does to them.
