The Sabbathday River
by Jean Hanff Korelitz
Genres: Mystery, Psychological Fiction
When a body is discovered in a small New England town, the investigation exposes long-suppressed secrets and unresolved tensions among its residents. Rather than focusing on procedural mechanics, the novel emphasizes moral ambiguity, memory, and the fragile bonds that hold a community together. The mystery unfolds gradually, using introspection and social observation to deepen the stakes and complicate the search for truth. (Little, Brown, 1995; 432 pp)
