Lone Women by Victor LaValle

4.0

---

An interesting look at the odd in-between times from the initial era of pioneering/homesteading days to the early 20th century. The book opens with Adelaide burning down her childhood home with the bodies of her parents inside. Then she hops a train to get a plot of land in the remotest reaches of Montana. Once there Adelaide instantly arouses suspicion as more and more people in her orbit end up dead or maimed under mysterious circumstances.

This was an impressive and fast paced novel and the less you know about it before reading it the better I think the experience will be.
