Helpful Score: 3

I loved this writer's "A Secret History". However, "The Little Friend" was disappointing. It was at least one third too long, full of filler, and badly in need of editing. Most of the characters were stereotypes of the southern middle and poor white South.The brave, feisty, smart little girl has appeared in dozens of novels. I missed the originality of the first book. The reader was led to believe that Harriet was obsessed with solving the murder of her older brother, Robin. After myriad hair raising misadventures, the book ends with the reader no wiser. Will the mystery be solved in a sequel?
