Book Reviews of Killing Mister Watson
Book Review: Slow-burn, profound, fascinating.
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this slow-burning, long look at Florida Keys and the beginning of the taking over of the Everglades. Focussed on the murder of the local big man, Mr Watson, carried out in cold blood in public by an informal posse of the town's influential citizens, the story is told in layer upon layer of eyewitness reports, both of the killing and the events in the area which led up to it. Reminiscent of E.Annie Proulx - Postcards. Lovely slow read, truly enjoyable.
