Fiction by Jess Lourey
In the early eighties in a small Minnesota town there is a girl called Cassie who isn't allowed to tell anyone about her family. Her dad says that what goes on in their rural home is their private business. When boys from the poor section of town are rumored to have been abducted and molested, Cassie wonders if her dad might know something about it. Or maybe Sergeant Bauer, her dad's buddy on the police force, is somehow involved.
All of this was an interesting setup, but I didn't completely like this novel. Cassie's character hinted at a vague ickiness that made the reader feel unsettled for the whole book, but nothing ever really got resolved to my satisfaction. Still it was an okay book.
