(3) YA Evie is dazzled by her stepfather's young, charismatic WWII army buddy. Naturally, she's thrilled when he starts showing up everywhere the family goes. This nouveau noir features deft phrasing, complicated characterizations, first love, and impending doom. It's a period piece that reads like a backwards mystery: something bad will happen, but the truth will never be fully revealed. A gripping story.
