5.0

1950s setting, realistic, atmospheric, with serious themes of life, death and hardship. This one starts with the POV of a loner sheriff who is morally gray, and alternates with a POV of a pre-teen boy, which Krueger writes so well. This small-town mystery story is well-written, with excellent character development and a slowly intensifying plot.
