A small town's descent into mob mania and the unfurling of a xenophobia always latent in closed societies and both barely disguised as civic-spiritedness are used to good effect as an element of chill in this suspense novel.
I was however expecting a more inventive final revelation. It didn't really live up to expectations of psychological complexity that the novel was priming us for.
