After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke’s steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn’t tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead.

Amid the worst drought in a century, Falk and the local detective question what really happened to Luke. As Falk reluctantly investigates to see if there’s more to Luke’s death than there seems to be, long-buried mysteries resurface, as do the lies that have haunted them. And Falk will find that small towns have always hidden big secrets.

读后感

《迷雾中的小镇》，作为一篇悬疑小说，它确实做的不错。书中以福克为连线，将当前和20年前两件存在疑惑的杀人案联系在一起，只不过20年前的嫌疑人是自己，而目前的嫌疑人是在案件中死去的多年好友卢克，书中频繁切换两个时间段上发生的事情，给了我们丰富的想象空间来猜测到底...  

还记得莎士比亚笔下那个最终被削首的麦克白吗？一个被欲望引诱，一步步踏进罪恶深渊的君主。姑且不谈后期外在环境和内在心理对麦克白的种种影响，在最初的最初，他不过是被一个预言带入了歧途。而人生当中，在选择的岔路口，我们又有多少次在不经意间，站在善与恶的边缘徘徊呢...

这类书真的不是我的菜。节奏安排不是很好，一大半的篇幅都在铺垫，但散落其间的线索又太刻意，导致结局既不意外也不精彩。人物刻画的很肤浅，好像就是把一个简单暴力的案件新闻扯成了一部书。还不如我关注的分析真实案件的“没药花园”公众号文章好看。

看到百分之六十还有点想翻白眼，最后三分之一高潮迭起，猜对了一个没猜对第二个，拍成电影会很好看吧。

开头很是阴郁，却没有发展为一味沉湎自恋很难得。口音太不好适应了，听着能记住名字的角色一个个排除了嫌疑很担心最后会是个想不起来是谁，还好也是个记得的人。
