A quirky story about a quirky Kansas teen who sees more than she should and won't leave well alone. Add in the arrival of a new boy who brings first love and life for Dibby just got very interesting. I really enjoyed this and found the characters very engaging.

I am reviewing a copy of Peculiar County Through BooksGoSocial and Netgalley:

Growing up in Peculiar County Kansas in 1965 is a strange experience, even stranger for Dibby Caldwell, the morticians fifteen year old daughter who is being haunted by a ghost of a young boy which prompts Dibby to unearth the circumstances of his death. She learns the boy is eight year old Thomas Saunders who had gone missing in May of 1953.

It seems that no one living or dead wants Dibby to uncover how Thomas Saunders died. In her search to find Thomas Saunders killer she discovers that her Father had been close to EveLyn Saunders

Will Dibby be able to uncover what happened to Thomas Saunders, who was behind his murder? Will she die trying? Find out in Peculiar County.

Five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!

Thank you so much to booksgosocial via netgalley for sending me an ARC copy of Peculiar country by Stuart West.

Humor and horror all in one.
In the peculiar country everything is done differently, how they live, what they do, everything is different from our typical norm. I thought that the story was interesting and intriguing but a bit repetitive.

Our main character is constantly talked about as not your average girl, not your typical girl, not just a girl over and over... we get it she's special, move on.

This book might have been decent (like maybe 3 stars... maybe) if the writer hadn't insisted on having his character claim she wasn't like other girls in every other paragraph. We get it, we get it, she has a blue bike, she doesn't understand fashion, shut up.

I think the title is perfect. The characters are spunky (Dibby), Susette (prissy), The Shooters (creepy), James (wildcard), Boot (perv in the beginning), they just all fit perfectly. The story flows. There are many twists to keep the reader guessing. This was a hard one to put down!
