“Few stories are more fascinating than a grisly small-town crime where no one can agree on what happened—or why—and which is solved, only to remain troubling many years later. Add matricide and an incendiary time period, and you have Beverly Lowry’s new book . . . Lowry’s granular re-creation of the time and place valuably captures its sensibility . . . The significance of this story lies in its irresolution, in showing how, like bigotry, a violent crime will continue to cast a shadow over a community for generations.”—Suzanne Berne, The Washington Post
