I enjoyed this mystery / coming of age story in the south (Missouri) in the 1970s. It’s different than Eskens’ other books (which were also good) and felt much more personal.

Allen Eskens never disappoints! He has such a knack for character development that I get completely absorbed in his characters' stories. This was suspenseful, entertaining, humorous, and touching, all-in-one. I want to read more about Thomas and Boady; the book hints at the direction Boady is headed. Now I want to see what he grows up to become, armed with his hard-won life experience and understanding of a world where there is real evil, but one person can and does make things better for others.
