It’s a short read which I enjoyed, I learned a lot more about farms and the country life than I think I ever will otherwise. Not the killer I suspected, but that’s what makes a book well-written, right? Some of the names made me want to die… I mean come on, a girl named Mary Pat who was born in 2000? She would be bullied to the ends of the earth.

Another brilliant book by the author. Loved it. Can't wait to read the next. And Kezzie Knot is so amusing, I really love that about the books, how real the characters are.

I get aggravated when characters who are supposed to be smart do things that non-idiots don't do. Granted, Deborah Knott acknowledges how stupid what she's doing is, but that doesn't take away my crankiness.
