This book contained quite a bit of Mormon history along with murder mystery. The mystery, set in the present day, involves a "Lost Boy" trying to figure out if his mother killed his father,.

The history, unknown to many, is the story of the building of the Mormon faith. I did not think this would be compelling, but it was.

Well written, fascinating, and worth reading.
