This is a good book about a father who comes to Resurreccion Mexico to recover the body of his son who has just committed suicide. As he mourns, he becomes aware of details that don't fit the story, and he begins an investigation of his own into his son's death. It is a well done mystery where the "detective" doesn't even know he's investigating at first.

Atticus is a story about a father and his prodigal son. It is also an engaging murder mystery.
The writing was sincere and powerful. The description of the wild Mexican landscape and the people of Resurreccion were done to perfection. This was a novel where you could see and smell and feel what the characters were experiencing.
The love that Atticus feels for his son Scott, no matter how messed up, rotten and selfish Scott has been, is so sincere.

This is a story about a man who finds out his long lost younger son has committed suicide in Mexico. When he goes to Resurreccion to recover his son's body he is very puzzled by situation and feels his son was murdered. I found the book interesting and it was a good read. Not one of my favorites, but definitely worth the time.
