Synopsis

This "brilliant" novel unravels a mystery which takes place in rural New Hampshire in the 1930s -- where crime of any kind, let alone a brutal sex murder, could hardly be imagined by the people who lived in this sedate, little town in the foothills of the White Mountains. But it did happen. An intelligent, mature-for-his age, fourteen year-old boy is accused of murdering his young, beautiful schoolteacher. A nostalgic coming-of-age tale, as well as a gripping thriller, excitingly written with well-developed characters, I Witness and Wait is a must read. "Truly a masterpiece!"
