An unexpected joy

Robert Travers is best known for "Anatomy of a Murder" which was made into a movie, and truth be told, I thought that was the only book he'd written. I was pleased to find out that I was wrong when I stumbled across "Laughing Whitefish". Having lived in the Upper Peninsula for some time, I was taken back to those days through the writing of Travers. He never fails to create an image in your mind with his words. Additionally, the mystery and courtroom drama of this book would be a delight for anyone - even if they hadn't visited the particular locations. Travers is a joy to read, and I was happy to have found this book.
