Having grown up in Keokuk in the 1980s and early 1990s, this book held a lot of nostalgia for me. It is as the author describes it—a once grand city dying a slow and ugly death. The houses on Grand Ave, the empty Kmart building, the Miller museum. That is sadly my hometown and like the heroine, I can’t go back to the way it was in my childhood either. Besides the nostalgia factory, the book was an excellent read. I didn’t figure out the ending until it happened. The clues she gave us lead me through plenty of red herrings. It was a good story and a gripping ending.
