How Maine is this book? There is an authenticity in it which will ruffle more than a few feathers. A creative writing should enhance change, either through revelation to an unknowing readership or through penetrating characterization. (This) book has both." — Sam Gelber, Artist and Reader "An authentic portrait of rural Maine “Aficionados of 'the real Maine' will love this book. It takes place in the mythical town of Venice, and like the Beans of Egypt Maine, the gritty realities of poverty are evident. The characters are finely drawn, from Earl, the Cheez-Its-eating ice fisherman who finds the body, (and yes, this novel does take place in Maine's finest season) to the book's hero Sam, the attractive slightly befuddled, cop-hero. It is a story with a rough edge and many surprises. A close-up look at a small maine town, with old-timers and new-comers and tensions and undercurrents. But, best of all, it is set in our beloved Maine, where "huge hay bales with dollops of half-melted snow on top of them dotted many of the fields, edged by dark borders of spruce and pine." — Left Bank Books "The authors bring a Maine January to life with their vivid descriptions of the snowy landcape, capricious weather, and authentic dialogue by the many colorful suspects Barrows and Zucchetti interview. ... What finally breaks the case in a January thaw that reveals, then refreezes evidence, is, as in life, as much happenstance as dogged sleuthing. "Walk down this road awhile." "Page Erwin has captured the beauty and desolation of a Down East winter and the insularity and independence of its denizens, and wrapped them in a plausible but ingenious puzzle. I hope to see more of Sheriff Sam Barrows and his motley crew of deputies." “Poetic passages describe the wintry weather and varied landscapes uniquely enhancing this Maine mystery. The images and colors, sounds and even smells enrich and involve all the reader’s senses. Stimulating!” — Blanche L. Gelber
