Perfect for you if...

You enjoy crime fiction grounded in real places and institutions, where journalism and small-town politics matter as much as the mystery itself.
You appreciate protagonists who ask uncomfortable questions and won't accept easy answers, even when staying quiet would be safer.
You're drawn to stories about outsiders settling into tight-knit communities and discovering there's much more beneath the surface.

Maybe not for you if...

You need fast-paced plots with constant action. This is character-driven and deliberate, more concerned with atmosphere than propulsion.
You prefer your mysteries wrapped up neatly with clever twists. This leans toward literary realism over puzzle-box plotting.
You're looking for a standalone. This is the first in a series, and it reads as the beginning of something longer.

About this book

Jack McMorrow, a former New York Times reporter, has relocated to Maine to operate a weekly local newspaper. When a staff photographer with few apparent connections is discovered drowned in the river, McMorrow questions the circumstances of the death. He is puzzled by the local police's lack of apparent concern about the incident.
