COMMUNITY REVIEWS
A good read submitted by audreyh on June 13, 2015, 2:08pm Though Frazier's prose could be a little overwrought at times, I enjoyed this look into the isolated lives of a family of hurt and traumatized people. The book is tense with suspense as Bud, the murder of Luce's sister, slowly gets closer and closer to the twins who have come into Luce's care. The last third of the book was almost impossible to put down.
