2.0 out of 5 stars
A nice part of living in a small town is that when I don't know what I'm doing, someone else does." Unknown source,
By
This review is from: A Death in a Town (Mass Market Paperback)
Sixteen year old Sally Anders seems to have a normal life. She sings in the church choir, babysits and has the occasional arguments whith her younger brother. However, when she doesn't return from babysitting one night, a search is conducted and her body is found. She had been raped and murdered by the home of the family for which she was babysitting.
The story is told in brief sequences of people's thoughts and reactions to Sally's murder. In gives a picture of life in a small New England town which has a ficticious name but is actually Guilford, Connecticut where the author lived and served elected office. We are given a step by step account of people's activities around the time of the murder. This approach doesn't give the reader any insight into Sally's thoughts and there is never an emotional sympathy for the character. It is as if the reader was viewing the information in a newspaper. The book was written in 1989 and that was the year that Hillary Waugh was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writer's of America. |
