Review of Long Black Veil by Jennifer Finney Boylan

The story is more than just the murder that took place 35 years earlier. It is about knowing who you are and the consequences of each action. 35 years ago 6 friends, a brother and a teacher go into an abandon prison the day after Casey and Wailer get married. Wailer goes missing and the story unfolds over the next 3.5 decades. The novel is rich in detail and pulls you into the world. You quickly find sorrow for some, an understanding of the choice of one and reasonable guilt of others. All in all as the author points out who done it & you go along with it, she twists it just one more time! Highly enjoyable & highly recommended.
