Customer Reviews

This is a thoughtful and suspenseful mystery.

I truly enjoyed reading this book. In fact, I think this is the best book of the three books that Mr. Hazelgrove has written. It draws the reader into a family web of secrets and connects current events in the book with events from the past. The ending of this book is a true surprise but not an unreasonable result. For mystery lovers it is truly addictive. I couldn't put it down!

An excellent book, well thought out and well realized.

This novel was a complete surprise for me. I picked it up on Sunday morning was compelled to finish it before I went to work on Monday morning. The southern ethos is beautifull developed, the characters realistic, and the plot twists are unexpected. It is, unfortunately, probably too politically incorrect for the movies, but I cast it as Jimmy Smits as Charlie Tidewater, returning to Richmond 30 years after the death of his mother, Jason Robards as Austin Turin, the mysterious grandfather, Robert Duvall as Judge Barrek, the almost archetypal aristocrat and Mary-Louise Parker as the love interest. This is a thrilling, poetic, suspenseful novel.
