About this listen

Ron Hansen has won an Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for his rich writing and poetic style. Atticus begins in the vein of a contemporary western. As it unfolds, it includes an intriguing murder mystery and a dramatic parable of the prodigal son. For years, prosperous Colorado rancher Atticus Cody has tried to understand his rootless son, Scott, who is now living a marginal life in Mexico. When he learns that Scott is dead, apparently by suicide, Atticus travels to Mexico to claim the body. Instead, he discovers evidence of murder and a trail of clues that will lead him to a strange and wonderful epiphany. Suspense and conflict, love and forgiveness combine in this deft story of Atticus’ search for his son. Each character stands out, sharply etched, against the bright Mexican landscape.

Laborious at first, but the story gets good!

I gave the story four stars. It was a great story, lots of twists and turns. It could easily be a Netflix show that anyone would enjoy. However, I found the author’s writing to be laborious at first. There were details that the reader simply didn’t need. For example, does the reader need to know that the washer at Scott’s villa was of the Maytag variety? Or that the horse feed was chicken flavored? Certainly not. The first two chapters were quite frustrating, but then it got really good.
