This was an audio book, read by Rick Myers who I know. He did a great job, clear and slow voice. Mystery was good and conclusions explained well. Nice light reading after a particularly long and tedious book.
I really enjoyed trying to solve the murders with the characters in this book. The book came to a conclusion with pleasing satisfaction, and closure. A very enjoyable book.
This story is a little gorier than White Lies. I enjoyed creating the imaginary town of Tuckahawkin with attributes from different places I have lived in NJ. I may have been a little loose with the police procedures, but that isn't the point of the story. The people are. Enjoy!
