For a change of pace I considered this a mild police story, or two stories in one book. It doesn't focus on foul language, which is a plus, and it doesn't focus on page after page of sex play, which is another plus, and I didn't consider it 'a thriller' or 'suspenseful' but just a good police story.
I really enjoy Archer Mayor. His characters are well drawn and believable. His books are set in Vermont and give a great picture of the state.
