Item Description...
Overview
Single mother of two Polly Deschamps's wedded bliss upon marrying architect Marshall Marchand soon turns to fear as his moods darken--due, Polly believes, to the sway of Marshall's brother, Danny--and she wonders what the brothers' dark secret could be and whether it has anything to do with the infamous "Butcher Boy" murders of 1971. Reprint.
Publishers Description
In 1971, the state of Minnesota was rocked by the “Butcher Boy” incident, as coverage of a family brutally murdered by one of their own swept across newspapers and television screens nationwide. Now, in modern-day New Orleans, Polly Deschamps begins to settle into a life with charming architect Marshall Marchand, but she feels uneasy about his increasing dark moods, also fearing that his brother may be influencing him in ways she cannot understand. What, if any, is the Marchands' connection to the infamous “Butcher Boy” multiple homicide that occurred more than thirty years ago? Could Marshall and his eccentric brother be keeping a dark secret from Polly, one that will shatter the happiness she has forever prayed for? |

 | Intrigued and Dissapointed Mar 15, 2010 |
| Not quite sure how to approch this review. On the plus side, this book has many "hooks" to grab the reader for a pull into the story all along the way. As a negative, some of the main characters are hollow as adults when so much time was spent building them as children. This means reader opts out and must be "hooked" back in. I am a Barr fan and was not looking for this to copy the Anna Pigeon aspects of former books. That said, this book could not seem to decide what to be. This was like reading a debut that is fairly predicable (all but the culprit get extensive childhood work/writing). Worth reading, but I hope Ms. Barr continues to try new things and to improve. | | |  | 13 1/2 Mar 10, 2010 |
| Nevada Barr has outdone herself. This is a must read! Could not put the book down, as it is a fast-paced, exciting book. | | |  | So awful I couldn't finish it Mar 10, 2010 |
| I want to begin by saying I am a HUGE fan of Barr's Anna Pigeon series. I have read every one of them and thought (in error) that this book would be as good, if not better. I was very disappointed. This book is choppy and doesn't hold together. I was often a bit confused as to who the characters were and what was going on. Now that can be a good thing early in a book, but I was well through the book and still had no clue. I read a little more than half before I just quit. Life is too short to read bad books - if you want a good read try one of her others. Sorry Nevada Barr but it was terrible.... | | | | Tedious and dreary Mar 4, 2010 |
| I started to listen to this book and couldn't finish. I'm a big Nevada Barr fan but this was too depressing. I wasn't engaged with the characters at all. | | | | Who are you and what have you done with Nevada Barr? Mar 3, 2010 |
I have read and recommended all of Nevada Barr's previous novels and awaited
my chance to enjoy 13 1/2........I'm still waiting. The clue should have been 1/2
because you probably will not endure more than that much of this rambling montage
of uninteresting characters. Please, no more like this. | | | Write your own review about 13 1/2
