I have read several of Bohjalian's books, but liked this one best of all. Being a Vermonter is a big factor in my good review - so is Bohjalian, and this book is set in Montpelier VT. It's really a rather sweet story about how a father's love for his little daughter completely transforms him from being a hard-boiled lawyer who represents unpopular clients in the state's capital city. The transformation unfolds alongside the theme of traditional dowsing (water witching, with loads of detail about that phenomena. A good read.
