On Friday, June 21, the Brattleboro Literary Festival will present Thomas Ricks, author of Everyone Knows But You: A Tale of Murder on the Maine Coast

 

“A crackling procedural about a grieving FBI agent who sets out to solve a murder in Maine. The sturdy whodunit plot is enriched by the author’s firm grasp of his setting and a colorful cast of New Englanders who never veer into caricature. A sequel would be welcome.” — Publishers Weekly
