I could not put this book down. It is every bit as wonderful as all the reviews say it is. It cannot be labeled by genre, as it is more than a murder mystery. It is also a beautiful, sad and poignant story about friendship, racism, isolation and loneliness. It is beautifully written literary fiction, with a terrific cast of characters and a vivid sense of place. Very highly recommend.
