Belle Boggs blog has this to say about the new novel, The Reservior:
It’s both an exciting and lyrical read–I couldn’t put it down–and raises interesting questions about guilt and justice and family bonds. I went back and forth, often on the same page, in the way I felt about Tommie. I’m not one for fluffy beach reads (I read Revolutionary Road on my honeymoon), so I think this book, which is both a literary novel and a crime story, would be a terrific summer read or book club pick. You need someone to read it with you, though, so you can argue about it.
Richmonders will love the descriptions of Oregon Hill and Hollywood Cemetery, and I’m sure fellow readers from the Middle Peninsula will enjoy reading about the people and landscape of our counties more than a century ago; I think the historical details are deftly handled, adding richness without overwhelming the story or characters.
