Shortlisted for the Spread the Word : Books to Talk About 2008.
I adore the American small town dramatic novel, preferably with a murder, and this debut is one of the best in this area. The characterisation is superb, the prejudice and pettiness beautifully handled and the heroine has such a dilemma you really cannot see how she will get through. Suspenseful, addictive and truly memorable, it is a must-read if ever there was one.
Comparison: Adriana Trigiani, Rebecca Wells, Alice Hoffman.
Similar this month: None, but try Annabel Dilke or Nicky Pellegrino.
