Let me die in his footsteps

Each month I'm trying to read 2 Classic books and 2 Award winning books. This book won the Edgar Award in 2016 for Best Novel. I was totally confused for the 1st 80 pages but started catching on and i can see why it won Best Novel. Half of the book takes place in 1936 and the other half in 1952 when the same characters in both time periods. The ending was a big surprise! Lots of folklore in this book. I'm glass I didn't give up on this too early, I'm really having good luck with the Award winning books and the author of this book also has another Best Novel award for an earlier book! Get this book and read it if you like good mysteries!! David N.
