Not bad for a debut

There were parts of this book I liked, mostly the childhood bits with Cadie and Daniela out on the lake picking blueberries and making up their poacher's code. I also liked the bits where Cadie is doing her research with the beetles and the fire hazard they are creating by killing the trees. That seemed to be pretty well researched and was presented in an interesting way. I think though that the author tried too hard to do all that plus add in the undocumented immigrant plight and the bit of mystery thriller about the shooting that had occurred that long ago summer that changed so many lives. I found that part to be a bit tiresome because I guessed the truth and I got really tired of all the secrets that Cadie and everyone were carrying around. Secrets that were destroying the present day, amid all the fire concerns. It was not bad for a debut book though.
