AUGUST INTO WINTER: A NOVEL

It is 1939, with the world on the brink of global war, when Constable Hotchkiss confronts the spoiled, narcissistic man-child Ernie Sickert about a rash of disturbing pranks in their small prairie town. Outraged and cornered, Ernie commits an act of unspeakable violence, setting in motion a course of events that will change forever the lives of all in his wake. Chased by the police and trying to get rid of witnesses Ernie ends up committing a string of murders. The author enlightens the reader to the mind of a narcissist and they are capable of. The novel is easy to read but a bit too long. It starts to get interesting after all the murders.(about 60% into the book). This novel gave me an accurate insight into the troubling mind of a sick narcissist.
