I take it that's in the same series as WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE,
which I didn't finish. The protag didn't seem young, and the
setting didn't seem anything like small town 1950s America,
at least not mine (which was once profiled as the epitome of
real America by the Saturday Evening Post). Had I detected
anything left-sympathetic I might have kept reading.
However, everyone else I know of who
read the book praised it, and I generally don't like
historical crime fiction because I pick at insignificant
details.
I've just finished Gar Anthony
Haywood's WHEN LAST SEEN ALIVE, which is hard-boiled with an
interesting assortment of ominous bad guys. I ordered two
more in the series.
