An interesting tale about a scandalous affair and murder which takes place in place of residence, Indiana. It is an intersting tale as one does not read about such adulterous relationships from this era. The people and their families are brought to life through great research and good storytelling. Written in the style of In Cold Blood, true crime written in fiction genre, this tale will hold your attention through the verdict at the end of the book. It is also interesting because of the time period in which it took place. You get a good feeling for the socail atmoshpere of the time, the landscape and climate of Indiana, and a look at the inner workings of the judical system of that era. ( )

"I drove all night...I could see myself in the windshield. My face. My eyes. Studied everything about it. As though I was looking at another man. As though I could see his whole race behind him...And then his face changed. His face became his father's face. Same bones. Same eyes. Same nose. Same breath. And his father's face changed to his Grandfather's face. And it went on like that. Changing. Clear on back to faces I'd never seen before but still recognized.' - Sam Shepard, Buried Child
