When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin

Carver County Library, paperback, 336 pages

Book club meets tonight and now I understand why everyone's been asking, "Have you read it yet?!" This was really good! The question of why Reese was trying to hide out was answered well. Emma's back story was doled out in small portions. Annie, Cindy, Davis, Charlie, Termite, Sal Cohen, . . . they were all memorable characters. The ending surprised me a bit (with a twist before the expected conclusion). I loved it when Charlie produced one last letter from Emma. This was a beautiful book. One I'd consider purchasing and owning. I will also put his other titles on my "to read" list.
