pickA well written small town saga that takes place in the 1958. The town is small enough everybody knows everyone, big enough to have a lot of dark secrets. Murder mystery filled with memorable characters doing what they need to do to get by , nice layers of intrigue. Enjoyed it very much
pickI‘ve been wanting to read this book for a while. I like every book I‘ve read by this author so far. Ordinary Grace had some many life lessons in its pages, forgiveness being one of the biggest lessons. This novel was made of a mixture of genres. It was action packed, and it contained a mystery. This is one of the better books I‘ve read, so I gave it 5 ⭐️s. I highly recommend this book.
About a third of the way through, enjoying it so far . So grateful I enjoy reading, to wind down a bit at the end of the day & shut off the crazy!

so-soNot my first WKK book and likely won't be my last but I do think editing wasn't a priority for this, and as a reader of history, and random knowledge that sticks in my head some parts of the story simply don't work for a 1958 setting. For me, that overshadowed the story and consumed my thoughts, unfortunately. This book gave me Beartown (Backman) & The Lost Man (Harper) vibes but in an American setting instead of Sweden & Australia respectively.
Save the date, #BetsyTacy fans! The next Betsy-Tacy Convention will be held this year in Mankato, MN in honor of the birthday girl, Deep Valley's Emily Webster! More information to come on speakers, workshops, and activities, but rest assured- if you've never visited Betsy's house, sat on the famous bench, or gallivanted around Lincoln Park (”that pie-shaped wedge!") - you don't want to miss this chance. #BetsyTacyAndTib #MaudHartLovelace
#12booksof2024 My first time reading this author. The writing was excellent. It had some flaws with regard to the mystery plot, but on the whole I enjoyed it. The characters were engaging and vivid, and the setting was immersive - a compelling portrait of 1960s small town Minnesota. Read with my IRL book club.

My favorite book of October was The River We Remember, which I read with my IRL book club.
