I was surprised about this book because I thought it was going to be a cozy mystery book. Just to let you know it isn't.
The beginning of the book is a little slow and so is the ending. I did enjoy the ending but it took a long time to get there. This story could have been wrapped in about 300 pages instead of 400 pages. The middle was the best part of the book. There was a lot of action and the mystery was fun to figure out.
The book had a lot of characters and each had their place and some didn't need to be in the book because they had a really part in the story and really didn't add to the story.
This book is about a war vet who helps a widower figure the murder of his young wife and sister. At first the police thought the two committed suicide but there were too many witnesses that said no something else happened to them. This story takes place in the late 1800's or early 1900's.
The vet talks to the witnesses and learns somethings and goes to investigate in different areas of the country. He is of mixed blood and has isn't accepted in some areas. He becomes close to the family and is able to figure out what happens. I did give it 4 stars because of the history and the middle part. I was glad for the happy ending.
