Title: Waiting for something to happen
Review: Crow Lake has interesting characters and suspense--that goes almost nowhere. The Pye tragedy is almost entirely offstage and understated. The murder is discovered years later! Kate's huge problem with her family is that brilliant Matt became a farmer. For this she disassociates herself from her family? For this she becomes a microbiologist who can't relate to her students? I read this book in one afternoon. It is slight in several ways. Yes, it's a good first novella.
