The Scent of Rain and Lightning by Nancy Pickard

4.0

I enjoyed reading this. It was well-written, the descriptions of people and lives matched the Kansas landscape that served as the backdrop of this simple mystery. I *would* say the ending may seem a bit rushed to some readers but I was actually ready for it to end; there wasn't anywhere else for the story to go so I kind of like where/how it ended. Although I usually enjoy tales that are more complex, if you know anything about the Midwest, and especially Kansas, you'll appreciate, like I did, the simplicity and sparseness of the characters, the language, and the story. In short, good ol' fashion leisure reading. Enjoy!
