Richard Cass had me after the first paragraph. With Hard as a Headstone, Cass delivers a bingeworthy trip to the real Maine wilds, with ex-CID investigator Ardmore Theberge showing the way. Both protagonist and writer are sure-footed, and the story moves faster than a logging truck on the Airline. Clear the day before you pick up this second installment in Cass's latest series. You won't be going anywhere soon.

What Readers are Saying
Hard as a Headstone does what the best regional mysteries do — it makes you feel the place in your bones while keeping you guessing. The remote Maine setting is first-rate, and the motive behind the killing is one I didn't see coming.
