Nothing More Dangerous by Allen Eskens

4.0

Reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird, this novel is a Bildungsroman concerned with the prejudices of a small American town, a story of a young boy’s maturation set against the backdrop of racism and violence. It is a compelling work with some excellent characterisation, though I felt a little uncomfortable at the lack of agency or character given to the missing black woman at the heart of the story.
