Shoot the Moon by Billie Letts

3.0

I read Where the Heart Is a lonnnnnng time ago and liked it; so when I found this while looking for some quick and mindless summer reads, I thought I'd give it a shot. It wasn't too bad for a quick, mindless read---but isn't my usual. I loved the setting of the story as I live just 90 minutes from this part of Oklahoma so it was easy to imagine it all taking place in familiar territory. I thought the solution to the mystery was sort of anticlimactic. The killer and the reason for doing so weren't all that shocking. I wondered if I was supposed to be sympathetic about the reasons...I wasn't.

I was put off by the amount of foul language in the story. Like I said---not my normal cup of tea.
