An interesting novel with some interesting characters that are written well. There is an aging serial adulterer on his third wife and looking for his fourth, an AWOL young Army man suffering from PTSD, a teenage loner who has been orphaned, and a peculiarly ambivalent woman who is about to become the guardian for an orphaned teen she has never met. Tie it all together with the background noise of an aging serial killer. And dogs - yes, dogs are used as a recurring motif, including puppies.
It's a good read though. It's not at first obvious how the disparate characters will be drawn together, which is generally a good thing since it keeps the reader guessing. Nelson is an excellent writer.
