Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 3.5 stars... ( ) This story starts strong. Two boys go camping and are later found murdered in their tent. Three years later their fathers are missing. From there this story seem to go awry. Characters that have nothing to do with the main story are introduced, Milk Raymond, and it takes entirely too long for this story to evolve. I felt the author should have spent more time on the boys that were murdered before he moved on to the fathers. It seems like the author was trying to follow a formula and it just didn't work. Thank you to Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for a copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review. In a dying Vermont town, two teenage boys are found dead in their tent. The town turns on one of the families, blaming their son for the deaths. Three years later, the boys' fathers disappear together. What follows is a largely gentle character study of the town and its people, along with a slow suspense plot that eventually works out but isn't really the main theme.

Premis
On the outskirts of a town too tired for its own happenings, the boys were found dead inside a tent. Three years later, their fathers have disappeared too. Ruth Fenn's son was the boy they blamed. For three years, Ruth has accepted her lot as pariah, focusing on her ailing mother and the children left in her care by the struggling single parents of North Falls, Vermont. But now the additional loss of her husband is too much to bear, and she has no choice but to overcome the darkness or be consumed by it. But as she edges closer to the truth, she begins to uncover some secrets that are better left buried. That's when she meets Milk Raymond, a war vet who comes home to find his nine-year-old son abandoned by his mother. Unable to find work, with no idea how to be a father, Milk turns to Ruth for help. But as the mystery of Ruth's missing husband deepens, the fragile stability Milk has created for Daniel is shattered by the ill-fated return of Daniel's mother, who will stop at nothing to get her boy back. As these unsettled and interconnected lives hurtle towards a devastating conclusion, both Ruth and Milk are about to learn that their dying Vermont town has more secrets than they ever thought possible-and there are those who will do anything to protect them.
