Fox Evil by Walters Minette

I did not want to take a break while reading this book!
The realistic and sometimes grim portrayal of peoples lives are intertwined in a small village in Dorset England. This complex story has more than one mystery to ponder. The key characters are an elderly man who wishes to meet his granddaughter who was placed up for adoption 28 years earlier; a caravan of travellers encamped on disputed land; an abused 10 year-old boy with his father, Fox; plus several villagers. Walters carefully unravels the stories of these people, weaving a tantalizing tale of greed, fear, and murder.
I enjoyed this book with its believable characters, that caused me to reflect on good and evil in common people.  Readers of P. D. James or Kate Atkinson will likely enjoy Fox Evil.  (Note: Strong language.) -Beth N.
