What the Dead Leave Behind
February 09, 2018
FICTION, NON-FICTION
The fact that author David Housewright is living somewhat locally, in relation to me, is what originally caught my eye about this novel. In fact, the cover art of What the Dead Leave Behind depicts a park that is somewhat of a local landmark. The book starts off quick, with retired police officer McKenzie being asked to investigate an unsolved murder. Which, of course, he does. As readers we follow along as characters are introduced and secrets revealed. I did manage to follow McKenzie's path, although I have decided I would be a terrible detective, as nothing seemed to provide any clues to the murder to me. Good thing the author had that all under control.
