VONEEE
This is an unusual mystery, with a family of quirky people.
This mid-western author has a very accurate view of ordinary people. I was not expecting this book to be as good as it is. I should have known better, as his Butcher books are excellent as well. It was a good read.
KINDLE CUSTOMER
Great read.
This character-driven novel is a delightful read, whether you are from a small town or not. The author brings the characters to life and you feel that you know each person. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Enjoy!
The author has a true understanding of human nature - the desirable qualities along with the less desirable. Whether you are from a small town or a city, you will enjoy the development of truly accepting the personal traits of neighbors and friends. And you’ll even have a chuckle or two!
