THE MYSTERY BEGINS. . . .

It was ten at night. I had just come off I-65, and my high beams lit her up from behind. She was walking along the road between dark, endless cornfields, and her right leg was in a cast. She wore denim shorts and a yellow tank top that didn’t quite reach the shorts. Without crutches, she moved as fast as she could on the gravelly shoulder. She would take a long step with her good leg, stiffly swing the cast forward the same distance, and immediately start the next step. Tilting jerkily, she looked as if she would fall with every stride. I crossed the centerline to give her more room to fall. Just as I was about to pass her, she glanced over her shoulder and stuck out a thumb.

When Phil Larrison, editor of a small-town newspaper in southern Indiana, picks up the hitchhiker, this chance encounter plunges him into a deadly mystery that he struggles to solve because he wants a big story for the paper. But the story turns out to be much bigger than he expects—and far more painful.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Safely Buried is set in the low steep hills, or knobs, of south-central Indiana, where for seventeen years Pesta served as editor and publisher of The Brownstown Banner. During those years he wrote bushels of articles for the paper, from obituaries to editorials, from town-meeting news to high-school sports, from features about readers' favorite recipes to captions for photos of such things as dead rattlesnakes, giant pumpkins, and the first tomato of the year. . . . Born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Pesta received degrees from the University of Notre Dame and the University of Virginia and spent a year at the University of London on a Fulbright fellowship. His short stories have appeared in various literary journals, among them Sou’wester, The Florida Review, Four Quarters, and Prairie Schooner. Still writing, he lives near Brownstown with his wife, Maureen, whose pastel painting on the cover illustrates a scene from the novel.

Pleasantly Surprised!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 aprile 2012

I snatched this book up when it was free so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really really liked it and it was hard to put down. My only wish is that the foster "home" story would have been a little more fleshed out at the end. I would have liked to know more about what went on. It could have been very interesting. I guess it is a good thing when you don't want the book to end.

At any rate, the character development was well done and there are many times you felt that you were in the house where the killings took place, exploring with Phil, the main character. I enjoyed all the different characters in the book as well. They certainly were an interesting group. I liked how the story was told too and the author did a good job of weaving the two mysteries together.

I will definitely check out any other books by this author. I hope there is a sequel to this one - hint, hint!

This is a mystery book that unravels taking the reader along with each development - the very detailed description as the story nears its climax leaves the reader feeling they have had a harrowing physical experience. It was an unputdownable story for me. Safely Buried

Realistic characters

I was drawn to this book because I lived in southern Indiana for several years and thought I'd be able to connect with the backdrop and characters. I wasn't disappointed. Loved the descriptions of the "knobs" as the author took us through rural Indiana. There were multiple plots involved that interlaced with each other which kept me entertained. I like the way the characters were portrayed--conversations were written in the vernacular which made them more realistic. I prefer that to the strict grammatical style that some authors adhere to. I thought that the depiction of small town life and politics were on point, right down to the wealthy family's mansion, the local sheriff,the neighbor who knows the comings and goings of everyone and the secrets that are kept for generations. Well written, good story line--I'll be looking for more from this author.

My Thoughts At 25%:
So far this a great book and has been a nice escape from worrying about my mom as she's having some medical testing done. The first quarter went fast (around 60-90 minutes to read) and I found myself engaged with both the plot and the cast. The writing feels solid, though at times a bit stacatto -- but that might just be a reflection of my preference for more flowing prose. However, I'm caught up in the mystery, wondering what the hell is wrong with Paula, and curious about whether or not this whole thing will end with Phil being caught in some kind of weird phsychotic something. As I read, I'm remembering the psychological feeling of the twists in Gillian Flynn's GONE GIRL, but I suppose I haven't read enough yet to comment on the psycho/suspense aspect of this story. Still, I'm engaged and entertained, and so ...

My Thoughts At 50%:
Well I'll say this, Mr. John Pesta: You've got my attention. I haven't been bored with this book yet, and I've spent a Good deal of my time confused while reading it. Not because the plot is faulty or the characters are unclear, but because all is well and this author has done a great job of weaving everything together in such a way that the reader can't get too far ahead of the game. I find myself engrossed and anxious to find out what happens next, engaged in the story and invested in the characters. So far, this book is a very solid read.

My Thoughts At 75%:
My goodness, the twists and turns in this book. I can't help but wonder about this author's other works - though I'll admit this book is a little dry on emotional depth in the romantic subplot. Then again, maybe that's just the voice of the male main character. Overall though, the story is still engaging, and the writing is both well-done and very clean.

My Thoughts At The End:
Seriously? THAT'S the end? Sudden and abrupt, the end of this book all but ruins what would otherwise have been a very solid five-star read. I'm terribly disappointed ... three stars.

Believable characters make this a great read.

I selected this book because it was set in Southern Indiana. I was prepared to read an 'amateur' who-done-it. I was immediately immersed in characters who behaved like real people in situations that can and do happen in the real world. The hero did not make the 'right' decision at each fork in the plot. He reacted as a person actually might when faced with choosing a course of action that was proper versus the one that serve his/her own self interest - like most real people would. The story showed how seemingly obvious events (the pot growing) might appear to be the cause of an event but are actually only side show distractions that could - too very often - mask the actual crime.

The characters felt real to me. As in real life, everything was not tied up in neat bows at the end. Seems to me that the unfinished ends could lend themselves to a sequel??

I would heartily recommend this to anyone who enjoys well fleshed out characters, good first person narrative with a real person and an interesting story line.
