Once Upon a River

The village feeling of this is very strong. The mystery of what happened to several little girls is written well and the mysteries are revealed at a good pace. I am impressed the various solutions to these mysteries.
The best part of the book is the way we grow to care about all the people in this town. They feel like individuals with happiness and tragedies who are trying to support each other.
If you want to read about a cozy village supporting each other through tragedies, you will like this book.
