Willie returns home after leaving her job in disgrace; pregnant and back in Templeton with her newly born-again mother, she must discover the true identity of her father. There is a second story line that runs along with her story, about a dead monster discovered in the lake, that brings the town closer together. Templeton is modeled after Cooperstown; since I am a local, it’s particularly fun to read a story based in a place I am so familiar with. A quick and enjoyable read.
