I have never read a love story before (I’m not sure if this qualifies as one) as I’m not keen on them but still it’s a nice novel.

At this point the plot reminds me of Camus’s book The Stranger, persecution via reputation (still don’t know the verdict).

So far a well written book. I didn’t think there were many well written mainstream books out there but wonders never cease…

My only complaint is it’s a classic “whodunnit” format and I don’t find the sheriffs to be very convincing characters but it’s fine and who knows where it will go.
