This Town Sleeps by Dennis E. Staples

5.0

I’m a sucker for a story set in Minnesota, and for debut novels. This Town Sleeps did not disappoint! It was stunning. One of my favorite books so far this year! A quick one-sitting read both because of its length (208 pages) and because the story had me hooked.

In This Town Sleeps, you’re getting Indigenous characters, real representation of life on a reservation in the US, Achillean relationships (but this is NOT a romance!), a little mystery, and a splash of the paranormal.
