[Ingrida Lisauskiene]

Detektyvas, kurio veiksmas vyksta 7-ajame dešimtmetyje. Autorė įtikinimai parodo, kaip žmogžudystė keičia tos aplinkos žmonių, net nesusijusių tiesiogiai, gyvenimą - baimė, įtarinėjimai, netikrumas, kasdieninio gyvenimo apribojimai keičia ir jaunų, ir vyresnių žmonių gyvenimą.

This Young Adult book is set in rural Ontario in 1970-1971. The author captures the time and place well, which provides a backdrop for the disappearance of a local teenager. Told through the eyes of Emma, her family becomes involved in the death if only because the victim is found on their farm. I was particularly taken by the relationship between Emma and her older brother, Eric. Their conversations were true to life and helped give the story shape. It wasn't a compelling read but I was interested enough to finish it.

Was actually very good. The first quarter was pretty dry but after that I couldn't put it down. Finished the last half this morning. Much better than I thought it would be. Found it in the discard pile at the library.
