pickSet in a rural Minnesota town in the 50s. The body of one of the most hated men in the town is found in the river. Everyone has secrets. Everyone tells lies both to themselves and others.
This was a good story and the writing was good.
Recommend.
pickFrom the moment Sheriff Brody Dern sees the body of Jimmy Quinn, he knows something isn‘t right. Suicide, murder, accident—everyone has a different theory but if it was murder, everyone knows who did it. Or thinks they do… Unraveling the truth of that night will expose secrets, reveal simmering prejudices, & pull in the innocent & not so innocent. Another wonderful story with a fantastic setting & wonderful characters. Krueger never disappoints.
July #bookspin is a favorite author. I love his stand alones the best so have high hopes for this!

Started this today and I just have to say, Krueger always comes with the hook—immediately—that makes the book impossible to put down. Anyway, yeah, it‘s off to a great start.
pickThe book begins on Decoration Day in the late 1950s, and the town of Jewel, Minnesota is celebrating. On the banks of the Alabaster River, a body is discovered. The murder reopens old wounds of the townspeople. 4.5⭐️
pickI really enjoyed this one. The storyline flowed like the river in its title. I would describe this as a quiet, slower moving book- delightful for summer reading.

Premise: A girl in mid-1940s Pennsylvania has to grow up quickly after the arrival of a new girl in town sets off a series of events with lasting consequences for everyone.
Review: This is one of the best middle-grade novels I‘ve read. Cont.
so-soI managed to get through this book, but it was hard. I so wanted to love it based on the reviews but just didn‘t like it. On to the next one!!
