Gruesome Tale

This is the story of a serial killer active in a small town in Maine. Smith has a taste for the macabre almost as if he is trying to shock the reader. I found the whole small town atmosphere enjoyable. Smith seems to have panache for fast foods like burgers and donuts and they feature frequently in the story. He also tends to bore the reader with his passion for antique wooded boats. I did find the police investigating the case to be rather bumbling and ineffectual.
