Book Reviews of Chiefs (Will Lee Novel)Book Review: Amazing Debut!
This is Woods' first published novel and one of his best. It begins with someone running through the woods, trying to get away from someone. They are caught and killed. Jump to the story which begins with the chosing of a new chief in the town of Delano, Georgia. A farmer, William Henry Lee is chosen. He is the first chief to investigate the murder of a teenage boy. He never solves it. In later years it is investigated by a cop who may be even more disturbed then the killer. Then, Georgia's first black chief, who holds a devestating secret. Even though the killer is pretty much figured out near the middle of the book, it is still thrilling to find out how it will all end. The pace is amazing and it is no wonder that it won an Edgar Award. |
