Death comes a-knockin in this story about Robert, an essentially good yet flawed man who leaves New York City and moves to a small town to rebuild his life after a disastrous marriage. Soon, he is accused of causing two deaths in this peaceful little town along Pennsylvanias Delaware River, and just as upsetting, he cant seem to cut off ties to his awful, harpy-like ex-wife. Weve entered a Highsmith nightmare where the falsely accused protagonist tries hard to clear his name to an indifferent or even hostile world, where even his friends begin to have their doubts. Wicked good read.4 stars.
