Ms. Forster doesn't make this story easy to read.  Instead she weaves a wealth of seemingly unrelated threads into a tapestry of amazing depth.  What some might see as a slow start is a masterful building of a solid platform leading the reader into a complex, satisfying story. I came to the end realized not once did she mislead me, I was just too caught up in the characters to see the subtle hint.  The iconic story of an ethical sheriff vs. personal disappointments, corruption, drug dealers and culture clashes would make an amazing movie. Unfortunately you would lose the most important part of the book.  Ms. Forster has always been an impressive storyteller but this transcends even her Witness series.  Thank you for a wonderful weekend of reading.
