This was an interesting novel based on a true story. Matilyn and her cousin Will are leery about taking a case involving a dead person, preferring to leave any homicide related inquiries to the police. The victim's family prevails upon them to search for their daughter's old boyfriend whom they believe is the killer. Both my husband and I enjoyed the local feeling as we live in the same area.
If I ever had need of a private investigator, Matilyn Rose would be my choice.
