"In the early 1800s in a village on the Illinois frontier, young Jo Mae Proud wishes her cruel brother dead. Forced into prostitution by Caswell, Jo Mae discovers she is pregnant and vows to escape. When Caswell is injured by a near lightning hit, he becomes more dangerous, and more hated. The flawed residents of the Village of Sangamon harbor many secrets. Caswell knows them all. Will he tell? Jo Mae runs away and eventually finds shelter with Fish, the old Kickapoo Indian who camps by the river. Wishing Caswell Dead is a historical mystery about the evil that hides within a village, one girl who is determined to save herself and her child, and a violent murder no one wants to solve"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Stoltey's book is more than just a great read. Her grasp of language and voice is superb. Never cluttered, her prose will make you forget you're reading literary fiction. But make no mistake, this carefully crafted novel reveals a deep understanding of human nature - both flaws and virtues - and weaves that understanding into a plot that entertains (and tweaks genre conventions).
