Fellow mystery writer Anne K. Edwards has reviewed Something in Common for Mysteryfiction.net. In part, she said:
Have you ever wanted to live in a small town? Or perhaps you do. Such a place is Swatara Creek, Pennsylvania, where a visit for many readers will be like going home or stepping back into a past they'd almost forgotten. Could a horrific murder occur here? Yes, it can and has, as the residents learn when an old woman finds the severed head of a young woman on her porch. The residents must face the fact that a murderer lives among them, someone they might call family or friend.
The very talented author J. R. Lindermuth uses his knowledge of small towns and people to create a tale that will keep you reading. False clues and red herrings are skillfully drawn across the trail to send us off in one direction while the killer goes in another. This is a perfect lesson for those of us who like to jump to conclusions. Don't.
