An absorbing read -- told from three different viewpoints of people living in the small Texas town during WWII. It's not really a murder mystery, although one of the three narrators is the local sheriff investigating some deaths. The first two thirds of the book meanders along as you gain insight into the three people and how the town reacts to its German citizens; the last third races to a shocking conclusion that makes this book one of those can't-put-down books, which frequently aren't.
