I found that I had read this book in 2012 and had only given it 2 stars at that time. Since I couldn't remember anything about it, I thought I'd give it another try. I know now why it got 2 stars and why I couldn't remember it. If you are a fan of the game of hockey you might really find it fascinating. The plot sounded like it could develop into a fairly good mystery with some spooky over tones...underground tunnels...a snowmobile that was never found the first time that shows up again in a different lake 5 miles away...evidence of not one but two murders...sounds good...right? The murders turned out to be a sideline of the many, many, many hockey games played by these ageing men in this small, northern Michigan town. I don't mean a mention or a couple of paragraphs about their games...but pages and entire chapters of the blood and mayhem they produced and how many stitches it took to put them back together so they could do it all over again the next weekend. As I said... anyone that really likes hockey will probably love it.
