Temperatures rise in this hometown mystery set in the small town of Mercury, Pennsylvania. Marley, a drifter who has spent the better part of her youth traipsing from town to town as her vagabond mother searches for work, finds herself drawn into the Joseph family's drama. Amy Jo Burns does a wonderful job with character development, and I found myself completely enthralled in the family dynamics! Albeit a whole lot of crazy in this small town, it was a story with rich layers that delved into human frailty. Of course, I figured out whodunit early on, but luckily, that didn't detract from the story.
Many thanks to Celadon Books for this gifted coming-of-age novel.
