Early’s Fall
by Jerry Peterson
Five Star, February 2009, $25.95
The case of wisecracking bank robber doesn’t bother Kansas Sheriff James Early, but the death of Judy Smitts, a close friend to his own wife Thelma, is a shock. Who would want to kill the nondescript school teacher?
In his debut novel, author Peterson introduces readers to Sheriff Early, an ex-WWII vet and ex-hobo, who loves both his pregnant wife and his souped up car. Early owns a modest house that floods each spring and lives in a small Kansas town that prides itself on its cowboy history. Set just after WWII, the locals are struggling with tough times, but their attitudes remain easy going and their outlook wryly humorous.
Early soon finds out Judy has an adventurous, violent past that includes an extramarital affair and unexpected connections to a local Jewish temple. Soon Judy’s murder is taking him into a world he knows little about—Zionism. But between trying to catch a crook and uncover a murderer, Early neglects to realize his wife has been unhinged by her friend’s death, and is suffering from a serious psychological problem. Peterson’s historical mystery has a lively plot (though I do think a brief encounter with Harry Truman is a bit much) and a likeable protaganist. With an unusual setting, quiet humor, and some believable characters, Early’s Fall is a very enjoyable read.
