Too much background on people who weren't really involved in the crime itself.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. In The Evil Day Violence Comes To One Small Town by Richard Adams Carey is the story of Colebrook, NH and its residents on the day that violence broke out. Carl Drega changed this whole area on one fatal day.This book was very slow. I almost laid it down several times because it took so long to get to the actual story. Once it did, the book improved. I think that the story is good, it was just not told in an interesting way. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Thoroughly researched and incredibly detailed, this is an interesting story of small town dynamics and an unstable resident. For me, it took a while to get going and through out the book it was told like a conversation with a person from a small town. I felt like the author aimed to describe people or situations that would set a scene, but then would go off about people and things that didn't lend, and sometimes distracted, from the original thought. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This book has officially been placed in my DNF pile. The story is about two real events that happened 10 years apart. But instead of describing the events in detail, the author alludes to them, then goes into an excruciatingly detailed back story. Too many characters are presented but since the author hasn't described their role in the events, it is boring and difficult to follow. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. The book started really slow, confusing the reader with unnecessary characters. Very reminiscent of James Michener. The story picked up when it began to focus on the crime. From that point on the reading was easy and enjoyable. no reviews | add a review
