3.0
Good book about Texas around the early 1920's. Young boy solving a mystery while we get to read about the inequities and racial division of the time. A familiar setting for Mr. Lansdale. Can see where his later ( and better) books come from.

Absolutely superb. May be Lansdale's best: has real heart and warmth, which shine through the much-reduced trademark violence, profanity, zany plotting and darker-than-a-black-cat-in-a-coalmine-at-midnight-humour. According to his blog, he has just finished a YA novel, and I very much look forward to it.
