The story is set in the backwater town of Pottsville, and the narrator is Nick Corey, the high sheriff–a lazy womanizer who is supposed to enforce the law in the small town of 1280 people. 1280, but thanks to a reference to the “ Bullshevicks” (Bolsheviks), the action seems likely to be set in 1917 or a few years later (news may travel slowly.) There’s a western-cowboy feel to the story accentuated by frequent references to the horse and buggy, but there are also a few cars around. There’s no clear date for the story that takes place in Pop. ![]() 1280, I concluded that it ranked right up there with The Killer Inside Me, but I’ve chewed this over and decided that of the two books, I actually prefer Pop.

The trouble was, though, that Omri was getting a little fed up with small plastic figures, of which he had loads. It was, without a doubt, very kind of Patrick to give Omri anything at all, let alone a secondhand plastic Indian that he himself had finished with. ![]() It was not that Omri didn't appreciate Patrick's birthday present to him. ![]() ![]() We benefited from Mary’s advice last year on using point of view for settings and on how to anchor settings, and now she has a new two-book series on hooks.
