— Publishers Weekly“Narrator Henry Strozier does an excellent job of bringing each character to life. He has an actor's skill in capturing accents and all manner of vocal nuances without slipping into caricature. He preserves the dignity of his characters even as their follies are revealed. Although murders take place as the road controversy goes on, the story is primarily a novel of a people and a place and the democratic process.”
— AudioFile" this is beautifully written. i liked how the characters are given importance and distinctions. "
— John, 10/24/2013" This book was easy to read, but it jumped characters frequently and I thought the book was drawn out. The storyline was interesting and I liked the ending. "

— Keiki, 10/28/2012" Stopped after the first 50 or so pages. Just couldn't get into it. Very boring and slow. "
— Carla, 5/6/2012" An enjoyable story--wonderful look at small town life. The ending was a little too "Perry Mason" however. "
— Ann, 8/5/2010" Couldn't finish it! This was definitely a "Book to Nowhere". Read about half way through and couldn't make myself read any further. Plot was uninteresting and it jumped too often between many characters. I was waiting for the acclaimed "suspenseful novel" to start. It just wasn't happening. "
— Suzette, 5/13/2010" An enjoyable story--wonderful look at small town life. The ending was a little too "Perry Mason" however. "
