Started fairly interesting, however McLaughlin seems to have a tendency to be overly verbose. Well-written as it is, he often lost me halfway through his rambling descriptions. I abandoned the book about halfway through as the allure of the other options on my shelf had a better pull than the continung plot of this story. That being said, if you prefer a healthy amount of poetry with your novels then my all means give this one a shot.

This book won the 2019 Edgar Award for Best 1st Novel! I was under the idea that the Edgar Awards were for mysteries, There was hardly any mystery in this book. It was a bit suspenseful at the end!
If you like books about the outdoors etc, you will like this! David N.
