Review: Not William Kent Kreuger (another northern writer) but close!

Matthew Williams writes a tightly plotted,  very regional mystery with lots of "local color"...he is showcasing the same area of the US as another VERY famous fave of mine, William Kent Kreuger. There isn't a difference in writing talent here, I think the difference is the depth of the characters. With Mr. Williams' characters, one knows they are "book people" and you wouldn't walk out of your door one morning and meet them....that being said, the books were quite enjoyable, without any draggy areas or boring bits, and I will definitely read more of them!I really enjoyed the character of the protagonist's mom...and I loved the surprise ending, which I will NOT give away here.
