This is a great pick if you like crime novels that mix family warmth with sharp, old-school detective work. Peter Decker’s move to a quiet New York town gives the story a fresh setting, but the mystery quickly turns dark, layered, and surprisingly intricate. It has that satisfying feel of peeling back respectable surfaces to find something far more sinister underneath.
