  I picked up this book only because of all the great reviews I had read about it, but I found it so hard to actually concentrate on because I felt like there were too many insignificant details and too many insignificant people to try to remember. I didn't even care who the murderer/molester was - I stopped reading halfway through. I am an avid reader and I have hardly ever put a book down halfway through reading it, but I just couldn't force myself to read anymore. I'm glad I got it at the thrift store for... more info

  this story is based in the late 1950's. Two sisters, the older sister is telling the story. It was a time when kids could still play outside as the sun goes down during the summer time.

Great characters, and a surprise but happy ending. I enjoyed reading this book very much.
