The Maid's Version by Daniel Woodrell

3.0

I really wanted to like this book more than I actually did. The premised is interesting - a mysterious explosion at a dance hall kills a large group of people. Who was responsible? One member of the town seems to know and eventually over the course of the book, the reader does too. My main problem is with how the story unfolded in a very non-linear fashion. Sometimes that works, but here it made it really difficult to get into the story or to develop a connection with the characters.
