Kept me up past my bedtime
I picked up this book planning to read just a few chapters before bed. Immediately, I got hooked by this story of a small town girl who isn't quite who she seems to be. I read well into the night, because I kept thinking I could figure out what was going on if I just read one chapter more. The author has created teriffic characters, laid out lots of red herrings, and tells the story with suspense and flashes of wry humor. Ultimately, I was surprised and amazed by how Hubbard pulls together all the plot elements into a coherent and satisfying conclusion. Read this book !
A satisfying read for mystery lovers
S.W. Hubbard makes the most of the Adirondacks setting, which comes alive with such details as the mud in spring and the categorization of the population as "from around here" and "not from around here," to launch a series featuring likeable, intelligent police chief Frank Bennett in a suspenseful story that kept the plot twists coming and also managed to keep them both plausible and pleasantly baffling. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. :)
Refreshing Mystery
A quick summer read because you won't be able to put it down. Set in New York's Adirondacks, beautifully and accurately portrayed - this is one mystery you will not guess!
Looking forward to Swallow the Hook.
