Review of 'Everyone Knows but You' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
The Maine connection attracted me to this book, and it was fun picturing familiar places that comprise the setting. As an alleged mystery, though, this is pretty thin gruel. The corpse of a murdered fisherman washes ashore in the middle of Maine lobstering country, and a San Diego FBI agent who has relocated to Bangor, Maine while he tries to recover from the shock of losing his family in a car accident, is assigned to the case. The whole story plays out languidly and lazily...so much so that the two strong sex scenes towards the end of the book are shocking and feel out of place. Overall kind of a lame effort.
