The Auctioneer by Joan Samson

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

3.5

Honestly just what the doctor ordered after reading Absalom, Absalom!. Just a short, tense read that's plot really sneaks up on you. I'm really into watching a small town turn on itself so this was definitely right up my alley. I feel like it could have done for having some more compelling characters, but their actions do make it authentic and interesting none the less. Would definitely recommend. The most western book ever set in New Hampshire.
