French's writing hooked me. The similes and metaphors save on description rather than knocking me out of the story- starting with a description of the humid air that carries scents on page 3 (that's my ugly literal translation of a really beautiful smile).

Hopefully the main mystery turns out to be mostly mundane- Cal's expanding theories wouldn't fit the town of regular folk doing regular stuff.
