What an excellent book! I found it looking for mysteries. It is just what I wanted – not the standard mystery. It is layered with concepts. The first to be revealed is the family secret being hidden from Homer about the father he doesn’t remember. Then, the mystery of Fake Man, disguised and sneaking around the tiny town of Herring Cove. Homer’s life changing as a result of making a friend and pursuing both mysteries. Also, the idea of what it is to be an artist. All four of these themes are what make the book.
