Crow Lake - Mary Lawson

http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=1973272044281340066

“Critics are raving about…Crow Lake, a tightly plotted page-turner about sibling love, murder, and invertebrate zoology in rural Ontario, set in the 1950s and ‘60s." —
Judy Stoffman, The Toronto Star"

Lawson achieves a breathless anticipatory quality in her surprisingly adept first novel, in which a child tells the story, but tells it very well indeed.” —
Danise Hoover, Booklist

I thought it was reasonably entertaining, and well written. It's amazing what critics will rave over. I wonder what happens when they come across something really great?

Rated 7/10
