When I read the summary of this book, I put it high on my list of books yet to be read and was not disappointed in that decision.  Having lived for several years in Kentucky, the one thing that always struck me was the lack of cultural diversity.  While the people were wonderful and friendly, it was easy to see that foreigners were viewed as exotic and mysterious.  I lived in other heartland states and communities and found similar sentiments in other homogeneous communities, particularly in the bible belt.Subcultureis beautifully written and rang true to me in both setting and characterizations.  The disappearance and investigation are as mysterious as Marsha's reactions to the events.  This enthralling story proceeds at a rapid pace and is a worthy read.  It is also a pleasure to read a book that has been nicely formatted and edited.
