When Gus' bar is robbed, and he is faced with losing everything, his trust in people is tested to the fullest. Who is responsible for the stolen cash?

I love this author's eloquence. This was a light easy read with rich sublime details. The numerous characters, in a small town, were distinct and easy to keep sorted. Glimpses into past 'loss' experiences of several characters, offered insight to their choices. Multiple mysteries are woven elegantly; and every loose end is tied up for a gratifying finish. Still, the ending left me hoping that this is the beginning of a character series.
