Sad story; sad lives. I found that author is overly-descriptive of scenes and characters that it detracted from the story itself. She jumped around too much, and it took awhile into a new chapter to determine where she was. I also saw no point in the "Thanksgiving" ending for this book. The relationship between Ronnie and Susanna, should have been incorporated in the body of the book, and could easily have been done in the chapters where Susanna was thinking about her sister or talking to her mother. I certainly would not consider this a mystery, since the reader pretty much knew who did it by midbook. It is a good albeit sad commentary on simple, "plain jane" lives. I would put it more in the sociology category.
