Customer Reviews

Poor Thatcher, he can't even get a vacation from murder!

We've already had a good synopsis of the book. Let me just say that I love John Putnam Thatcher. I wish Lathen's books were more available. I thought this one was really good. Thatcher gets away from his desk and off on the hiking trail, but his hiking companion finds a dead body. Thatcher gets drawn into the investigation. The dead man was also an avid hiker, but it's his complex relationship with his wife and ex-wife that had everyone thinking. Great book. I found it at the library, so if you can't get a copy elsewhere, try it there.
