Book: City Under One Roof
Author: Iris Yamashita
Pages: 320
This is my 164th read for the year
This is the story of Cara Kennedy. When a local kid finds a foot and a hand on a shore in Alaska, Cara is called to investigate. She comes from Anchorage to the small town of Point Mettier and due to an avalanche, gets trapped in the town until it can be cleared. While she is there she continues to interview the local towns people - many who live in the same high rise building. She works with local police to get to the bottom of the mystery before a local gang upends everything.
This was a pretty good book. I am making my way through the Read The USA challenge, and this was a good find for Alaska. There is good character development - it is told from point of Cara, a young girl named Ann, and a woman named Lonnie who seems mentally disabled. The book moves along at a good pace and it isn't a hard read. Ending wrapped things up nicely.
