The people of West Mills- on both sides of the canal that serves as the town's color line-are in a frenzy of finger-pointing, gossip, and wonder. The crime is the first reported murder in the area in decades, but the white authorities don't seem to have any interest in solving the case. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFortunately, one person is determined to do more than talk. Miss Josephine Wright has just moved back to West Mills from New York City to retire and marry a childhood sweetheart, Olympus \"Lymp\" Seymore. When she discovers that the murder victims are Lymp's half-siblings, and that Lymp is one of West Mills's leading suspects, she sets out to prove his innocence. But as Jo investigates those who might know the most about the Harmons' deaths, she starts to discover more secrets than she'd ever imagined, and a host of cover-ups-ranging from medical misuse to illicit affairs-that could upend the reputations of many. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For readers of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Spy \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBluebird, Bluebird\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDecent People \u003c\/i\u003eis a powerful new novel about shame, race, money, and the reckoning required to heal a fractured community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e De'shawn Charles Winslow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.35h x 5.51w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635575323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 pg. 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 pg. 22","brand":"De'shawn Charles Winslow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44186378731748,"sku":"9781635575323","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781635575323.jpg?v=1719489736","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/decent-people-hardcover-winslow-deshawn-charles-hardcover","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
