The Water Tower Club is a good story, with good plot zig zags. Darryl Coombs had a rough childhood growing up in a tiny town in Kansas. He moves away the day after he graduates from high school. He ends up in San Antonio, Texas and works hard to go to school and lands a good job in accounting.

Ten years later his younger sister is in jail for attempted murder and he feels he has to go back to help her. Returning is not easy for him – he must face many adversarial, nasty people from his past. In the end, he helps his sister, figures out the mystery of why she did what she did and learns to start letting the past go. The twist at the end was a little predictable, not the exact result, but I knew something weird was coming. I don’t want to ruin the end for anyone, so I will leave it at that. The book is entertaining and worth reading.

I started this book because I live in Kansas and the book was talking about a small town in Kansas. Turns out that town is a Fake but I do recognize towns mentioned.
Darrel Coombs is called Home to his Kansas Home from Texas where he escaped to after High School when his Baby sister Libby gets herself into big trouble. She is in jail . Darrel tries to get her out. He has lots of memory recalls from different people he runs into during his trip back to his Kansas home. not all good ones either.
This is a pretty good book . I will not go into much more detail so I do not give lots away. but its a good read.
