Review: Girl Waits with Gun

I read a book that I quite enjoyed: Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart. It is set in northern New Jersey in 1913/14 - at a time when most of New Jersey was still rural and Paterson was a mill town. It was a little slow to get started but I didn't want to put it down at the end. The characters are all sympathetic and the tone of the book was so evocative - I really felt immersed in this family and their associates.
