Still not certain what the title has to do with the story, but the reviews, most of which said that literally anyone could have been the murderer, is not entirely true, but close. The conclusion was a definite surprise. The writing style is eminently readable with short chapters, slowly unfolding the action from the characters' points of view. Loved it.
I have now started People of the Longhouse (#1) by W. Michael and Kathleen O'Neal Gear. This is another in the series of archeology based books, this one about the Iroquois of what is now the northeastern USA and Canada. Eventually these nations would form a confederation which valued individual liberty and became the model for our own form of government. This book is set in the time predating the confederation, a time of violence so horrible that it eventually spawned the great peace which came with confederation.
