Reading Cross Roads was like sitting down for a good chat with a group of friends and getting all the juicy gossip about the folks who live in Wind River. The book starts off a bit slow, but really drew me in once Ben, the main character, arrived in Wind River.Michaels crafts interesting characters and the descriptions landed me smack dab in the middle of a small town in Idaho. There's a great big helping of greed, lies, betrayal and lust, and the "bad guys" are fun to read because they're so bad. When I started reading Cross Roads, it dawned on me that I'd probably met at least half of the characters in the book at some point in my life. Michaels does a great job conveying small town ideas and attitudes.On another note, it's obvious the author loves fly fishing, and the references to the sport made me want to give it a try. All in all, a fun read!
