Negative Positive
Title: Great characters, compelling suspense, brilliant ecofiction.
Review: This grittily realistic novel features suburb character development, great storytelling, and an incredible evocation of place. Johnson parcels out clues and new information in a way that slowly sheds light on both a previous crime and a complex current situation. Johnson provides implicit commentary on land development scams, Indian-racketeer colusion, loyalty and friendship between the lines. It's also a first rate, non-sentimental love story. Fans of David Guterson and Cormac McCarthy will join those of Louise Erdrich and Louis Owens in their appreciation of this excellent novel.
