Why read it?

1 author picked A Field of Darkness as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A roman a clef by mystery writer Cornelia Read captured the characters of upstate New York as well as wealthy Long Island families. I don't often read murder mysteries, but I could not put this down, and I could not stop laughing.
