Set in the mountains of Pennsylvania, the local high school football star and son of the major domo in town (Transom Shultz) returns after a long absence. One of his best friends (Chase) has lost his grandfather and may lose the family farm too, but is bailed out by Transom, who then sells the timber and sells fracking rights. Another classmate (Possum) has a score to settle from events in high school, and then Transom disappears, leaving a mystery for the sheriff, who was intending to resign imminently, and a mystified fiancée. Sadly, with many suspects, I guessed what happened in general terms. For a better small town mystery, read Deception Cove by Owen Laukkanen instead. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This book read like it was written for an old white guy. I am a lover of thrillers and read several a month. This one was not at all for me. The pacing was so slow and boring. The characters were well developed but again slow and steady and I lost interest. The writing was nice but also slow and not my thing. Basically, I can see how other might like this book but it was not at all for me. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This was a very satisfying read. A truly complex (yet believable) story that had me changing my "theories" about what was/would be happening throughout. The relationships among characters develop in complicated, interesting ways. (I received a copy of this title through LibraryThing's Early Reviews Program—but seriously, this is a great read, free copy or not.) Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. A intriguing novel that goes back and forth between the current and past. The characters all have secrets. The sheriff, who is also haunted by a past crime he helped cover up that involves the missing Transom. The sheriff is concerned that Transom may be a victim of revenge from Possum the victim of the past crime and Chase his childhood friend whom Transom betrayed by buying his farm to help but sold its mineral rights. A very well written mystery. This was an audio book and the narrator was very easy to listen to. I received this book for free as an early reviewer. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When Transom Shultz goes missing shortly after returning to his tightly knit hometown of Fallen Mountains, Pennsylvania, his secrets are not the only ones that threaten to emerge. Something terrible happened seventeen years ago. Red, the sheriff, is haunted by it. Possum, the victim of that crime, wants revenge. Chase, a former friend of Transom's, is devastated by his treacherous land dealings. And Laney worries her one thoughtless mistake with Transom could shatter everything she's built. As the search for Transom heats up and the inhabitants' dark and tangled histories unfold, each must decide whether to live under the brutal weight of the past or try to move beyond it. In Fallen Mountains, even loyalty, love, trust, and family can trap you on a path of tragedy. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The saddest thing was that the person causing the most misery seems to be one of the most popular people in the town. I suppose that's often the case, since if someone is not liked, it's hard to get close enough to people to hurt them.
Anyway, it's hard to classify this book or talk about it without giving too much away. So all I can realy say is read it.
