Best of the series so far. Just an excellent, intriguing story line, and the characters continue to grow and evolve as well. Looking forward to the next, so get writing, Mr. Gruley!

I especially enjoyed that this book is set pretty much locally for me, plus references the little Detroit suburb I grew up in. That said, several issues w/ locations.... but still enjoyed the book.

My least favorite of the Starvation Lake trilogy. It was so unbelievably predictable, that I knew "whodunnit" as soon as the character was introduced. Even the regular characters seemed more two-dimensional, which was disappointing. I read it to the end just to find out who did do it.

Someone is breaking into homes in Starvation Lake on Bingo nights --- and taking nothing. Creepy, but not dangerous; until one night it's Gus' mother's home that gets broken into and Darlene's mother who is murdered. Gus must decide how much the beginnings of dementia are preventing his mother from remembering, and how much she remembers but refuses to say.
