The Western Wind by Samantha Harvey
Did not finish book.
DNF!
Unfortunately, this book was not for me. Although the premise of the story is interesting (small town, man drowns under mysterious circumstances, who did it??), the blurb did not (in my opinion) accurately describe the plot. The blurb (at least on Goodreads) makes it sound like the village priest is actively trying to figure out what happened to the murdered man. I've read till about half the book, and so far, it's more about his guilt of over his past and his inability to do anything to help the village in the present. His griping gets a bit tedious after a while, especially if you (like me) picked up this book because you that it was going to be more about the murder. In the end, I had to put this book down - there's too many murder mysteries I want to read that are actually going to be about the murder!
