Took me a little while to get into this one, but once I did, I was hooked. I can see why Chizmar and Stephen King work so well together - both capture that small-town nostalgic feel very well. Gripping, with a satisfying conclusion. I especially liked the details of how the cold case was solved, and I found the interview between Chizmar and Gallagher was realistically chilling.
Overall, I'd give this 3.5 Cemetery Dances out of 5, rounded up for the uniqueness of the metafiction narrative.
