5.0
Tragic story of murder in a small town with beautifully written descriptions, flawed characters, and subplots that don't detract from the main plot. The unfortunate prejudice of post-WWII Americans is prevalent. There were so many characters battling their own demons, but they were easy to keep track of since they were so interesting. A tense mystery with several twists.
