The Compost Pile is an intriguing read for several reasons--mostly because Woodfin's imagination and legal expertise work to the readers' advantage.The lawyers are not your typical three-piece suit types. The detective has his demons to battle. The residents of the town have their own agenda. The mayor has secrets best kept secret. The district attorney is up to no good.Does all this make for a mash-up of unexpected twists and turns? You bet. What seems to be a simple case of "man kills young girl" proves to be much more. The court case takes on a life of it's own that is beyond the control of the lawyers, which makes one wonder how often this happens in real life. And best of all, the mystery remains a mystery right to the end.
