Coming of age meets murder mystery. It was alright. Very slow at the beginning. A lot of detailed imagery but I wanted more dialogue at first. Once I got through the first quarter, it picked up more. The ending was a complete surprise which I liked. Wouldn't read again but may be a good book to pick apart in a literary setting/English class.
