Another fine book by Ms. Oates. The book is written in 3 sections that cover 3 murders. In both, the protagonist is a man who investigates them. The section I liked best was the first one when he was a young man and was just learning how to investigate things. And then, he fell in love...
I love how the narrator describes things one way--and you just know that it isn't what is really happen. For example, when the townspeople decide who the murderer is and all the clues point strongly that someone else did it. She does that a lot.
But I don't understand the use of the word "Divers" which appears in probably all the chapters!
A very worthwhile book.
