I got this book on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised how good it was. From the first sentence, the small Minnesota town and its denizens became so real to me they might have been my family. Fatal confession is a character driven mystery whose characters I came to care about. When the despicable Gaspar Truffeault's body tumbles from the confessional in the town's Catholic church, Sheriff Billy Fontaine must hunt among his friends and family for the killer, helped along by his new deputy, Jordan St. Claire.Jordan's a former Miami homicide detective trying to start over in a town full of relatives he never knew he had. Gaspar was a loathsome excuse for a human being and suspects abound, but like Sheriff Billy and Deputy Jordan, I was torn between duty and reluctance to find any of these decent folks guilty. Once I started reading I couldn't stop. I'm hoping for more adventures in Pine Creek.
