Stacey Swann's "Olympus, Texas" was the perfect novel to fill the "Mare of Easttown" shaped hole in my life. It's a deliciously dark slice of small town America, where everyone knows your business and there's never ending family drama - but all is not quite as it seems. The book works well on two levels, the second being that it's an homage to Greek mythology and tragedy. If you're not into that, then taking the story at face value doesn't detract anything as it's very cleverly done. Swann weaves her spell with skill and dexterity. A very engaging read.
