Review of The Winslow Incident by Elizabeth Voss
5 stars
This novel turned out to be much more involved and
convoluted than I expected, and it kept me rapidly turning the pages with expectation
and anticipation. The tiny town of Winslow, a former late 19th
century mining community and named for one of the founding families, harbors
untold and unbelievable secrets, lies, grudges, murders, danger, and more.
Locked away between mountains, Winslow is almost land-locked, except for the
summer tourist infusion, and is very insular, with all the small-town mentality
that usually generates. In July of 2010, the insularity turns deadly, as first
the ranch cattle, then the townspeople, fall ill with inexplicable symptoms,
and with no way to leave town to find help, tensions and trouble escalate
dramatically.
A novel that combines medical situations with familial
tensions, friendships and enemies, ghosts, hauntings, long-held grudges (a
century long?), “The Winslow Incident” will not be easily put aside or
forgotten.
I reviewed an e-book copy received from the author in return
for my provision of a fair and impartial review.
