A terrific small town crime story that is just as interested in the interplay between it's opposing characters as the solving of the crime. Both aspects are equally important to the plot. The conflict adds much more to the persistence of ending the case at hand, because of the continuous underlying prejudice felt within the characters and the town itself. These points generate a constant tense atmosphere that grips right from the start and never lets up. The morals and themes present still resonate strongly today.
