Title: Huge Disappointment: The Only Mystery Is Why It Won an Edgar
Product review: I will never trust the Edgar Award again after reading this derivative, predictable book. Not only is the murderer obvious from his first introduction, but it is clear who is going to be bumped off next. And although racism is clearly *the* important issue in the South, Lansdale seems rather preoccupied with describing lynching after lynching. One gets the impression that African Americans are nothing but victims in the eyes of this author. And it's positively criminal how much Lansdale lifted from Harper Lee. I'm truly baffled that this book has received so much praise.
