Joyce Oroz

I was blown away by this novel. It is hard to believe that this is the second book this author has written. It has obviously been well polished and well edited. The empathetic portrayal of both the town and the characters won me over. The various descriptions of the characters are unique and well rounded not the same old tall/short, brown/blond type of narrative you see in lots of books.

Once I started this book I had a hard time putting it down. It had many twists and turns and every time one thought they knew who the murderer could be, it wasn't. It was interesting and fun to read and I would recommend this book to anyone who would enjoys mysteries. Everything about this story is well plotted: from the great characters to the murder. I'm sure Joyce Oroz left enough clues for the reader to solve the mystery, but this seasoned mystery reader never managed to piece it together. I like when I'm kept guessing, and I was definitely kept guessing right till the end.… (altro)
