Summary

One day, eleven-year-old Claire Hofer sets out to take lunch to her father, who is raking hay. Nearing the field, she sees only Constable John McIntire. Her father, Reuben, is dead, and McIntire finds the crime baffling. But Reuben Hofer's past holds several secrets, and young Claire may hold the key to the crime.

Deserves to be better known - worth a listen

Highly recommended. I'd never heard of this writer but I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that, while it's no literary masterpiece, this book has far more depth than the average crime novel. Certainly far fewer of those jarring cliches that are the backbone of far better known books.

A well-crafted story and enjoyable listen

This story would have benefitted from a female narrator: the main characters are one male and three females and as much of the tale relates the inner thoughts of an 11-year-old girl, the male narrator detracted from my engagement with the story. That said, he had a gentle, steady pace and made subtle distinctions between the voices of the characters that allowed a clear understanding of each to be made.

The story is an original one, set some years after WW2 in the American mid-west. Some characters were better fleshed out than others - and again, I wonder if the female author failed to find a depth for the two teenage boys and their father. However, I found the story engaging and the plot accessible and credible.
