Where Trouble Sleeps
AuthorClyde Edgerton
ISBN0345426320
I picked this book up two years ago and read it during lunch breaks. It was not compelling, nor a page turner, but it was a pleasant place to go for a little break. Then, one day, I got busy and stopped. I didn't feel a great loss.
Reading this is very much just like sitting on a bench in a small town and watching...
