Bonfire, Ritter - B

                                               This is an interesting novel that combines a legal investigation with a coming of age story. A young Chicago lawyer returns to her hometown in Indiana to work on a potential environmental case as part of a team investigating illegal contaminants in the local water supply. Returning home also involves revisiting all that she hated about growing up in a small town in the early oughts. There is a tie-in between the plastic company polluting the reservoir, the 'game' from back in the day and one of her high school friends. This is a debut novel, and as is so often the case, the author struggled with the ending.
