What a really optimistic story about America. While the book is this murder mystery the book is so much more than that. Through spending time with different individuals in the town you really get to know them. I love that Hames McBride is not cynical if anything his town throughout the book is largely neutral until then end when he gives you warm fuzzies.

This is a really great novel about communities and how we can all use each other.
