A Tory Bauer mystery, set in the small town of Delphi, South Dakota.
Tory Bauer is an overweight, over-forty waitress. At the time of this story, Tory is involved in helping to organize the high school reunion. Naturally, this brings to mind those long gone days twenty years ago and the death by drowning at a kegger held on the banks of the James River. For twenty years, Butchie’s death had been considered an accidental drowning. But as the townsfolk talk about and rehash old history, Tory begins to think maybe there was more to the incident.
I love the Tory Bauer stories. Yes, there is a lot of talk and not a lot of action, but that is what makes them such a true to life portrait of the goings on in a small town in the upper Midwest. If you like folksy stories, you might like the Tory Bauer mysteries. Besides, how often do you come across stories set in South Dakota? (For those who may not know, a kegger is a party thrown by underage teens to get drunk on beer and act stupid.)
