I will seek out some other writings of Frederick Lightfoot. I loved the pace, the short and sharp sentence structure as if he yearns to not waste a single word, but yet convey the whole feeling and meaning without rambling descriptions.
An interesting read, is it crime fiction? (The genre my library placed it in). Yes and no, I found it more "life" fiction. Through the eyes of a grieving mother that doubts herself. Doubts how mud hehe knows her son, when everything around her portrays him as someone she doesn't know.
