The Auctioneer by Joan Samson
4.0
This is an older book (originally published in 1975), but it's one of those slow burning thrillers with a shocking ending.
At first, it's just a story about a small New Hampshire town. But one family - John Moore, his wife Mim, their daughter Hildie, and his crippled mother - dares to take a stand
But newcomer Perly Dunsmore, a charismatic auctioneer, arrives. With the help of his deputized goon squad, Dunsmore slowly terrorizes the town.
At 260-ish pages, it's a quick read
