First of all, judging by the extreme weather in the book, I am never going to Kansas....

This is the second book I have read by Nancy Pickard, I absolutely loved The Scent of Rain and Lightning. Like that one, The Virgin of Small Plains is a small town mystery that kept me guessing throughout the whole book. Set in Small Plains Kansas, 17 years after a woman is found dead in the snow, the crime is revisited. The buried past emerges and the lives of several people will be changed forever. I loved the small town setting, the cast of characters, and though I rushed to finish because my interest was that high, I am sad it's over.
