I wasn't expecting to like this novel at first because it took me a while to be drawn into the story. I am so glad I stuck with it because it was a very good story with lots of twists and turns. I was not expecting what happened at all. This is the story of Joel and Clancy Fitchett and a murder that took place years ago and the family secrets that were hidden; and Lorraine, the woman that both brothers loved; and a man named Crawl and the part he played in all of this.

It is told in alternating timelines: 1932, the years of WWII and 1991. The twists and turns kept me guessing. This was an intense read for me even though I really enjoyed it and I look forward to reading another by Shanessa Gluhm.
such a wonderful find.
