book review

I'm reading a really good book right now. It's called "Cold Customer" by Myra Mcfarland.  You can buy it on Kindle for $2.99.  It's a murder mystery which is a genre I really enjoy but what makes this book special to me is the setting.  It takes place in a small town in Indiana and includes references to the big cities of Fort Wayne and Muncie.  It also takes place in 1933, during the great depression. I did not live through the depression but my parents and in-laws did and I've heard lots of personal stories of that time.  This book, through the conversations and scene descriptions, paints (in my opinion) a very realistic feel of that time. There are so many interesting bits woven into the story line like the description of Muncie as a large town with a teachers' college and three glass factories.  I also appreciate this author's ability to create characters I care about.  I only started reading this book yesterday so I'm not finished but I'm confident I will enjoy it all the way to the end.
