Was expecting something more after reading the lamorna wink, unfortunately, the first 40 pages or so almost made me want to put down the book. Luckily I didn’t, as it speeds up and draws you in slowly towards the middle onwards.
A philosophical twelve year old, left alone to tend to the family business one summer, finds herself embroiled in solving a current day murder, and unlike the local police, she solves a 40 yr old murder concerning the supposed accidental drowning of another twelve yr old girl, and manages to intertwine the two, and draw the necessary links.
The way the story is told goes into the details of emma’s life, her make do fantasies, her breakfast-lunch-dinner routine, friendships with the sheriff, waitress, poachers… all the local characters in the small town where she is. A small town, slow paced setting, with the family connections, murder mystery thrown in.
