Sheer perfection, worthy of 10 stars. I hated for it to end, and will miss the characters. This is my first Krueger novel, but it won't be my last. This was brilliant. It even made me FEEL GOOD deep down inside. Not many books can do that.

Murder mystery set in fake New Ulm, MN in the 1960s - deals with faith/religion, sexuality, PTSD, addiction, police misbehavior, disability, racism, and so much more. Well-written and thoughtful - told via Frank, the son of a preacher, working on growing up and dealing with the tragedies of one particular summer, in which he learned so much.

A murder mystery set in a small town in Minnesota during 1961. It’s a little bit Huckleberry Finn and a little bit Bridge to Teribithia. I thoroughly enjoyed the audio version of this book.

DNF.
I still really enjoy this author -- and the story was interesting and very well written. However, I did not want the story to lose characters that I was really, really enjoying, and the slow pace on the audio book was just frustrating enough that I decided to stop listening to it.
I did google the ending of the story so I could find out what happened.
