Why read it?
1 author picked Baggage as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was guessing until the end and was wrong the whole time. This one is a mystery and a thriller set in a small West Virginia college town that involves not one but several good murders.
My favorite thing about SG Redling’s writing besides her ability to slowly build suspense is how she rolls through modern West Virginia without treating it like a gawky curiosity. I thought about this book for a week after I finished it.
From Wesley's list on crime books set in contemporary Appalachia.
