Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger

3.0

---

I don't like mysteries when I know who did it very early and then have to finish the novel to make sure I'm right. That's the way this one was--the foreshadowing was very clear, which made it a slower read. I did love the setting--small town Minnesota, and the time period, 1961. The book just read odd--way too many people died in this small town during one summer, and the police force was basically non-existent. It was trying to be a Harper Lee-like novel, but didn't quite get there for me.
