Picked up "Bleeding Kansas" by Sara Paretsky at an outlet store and since I'd read one of her books before I took the chance that it would be good or worthwhile. Took a long time to get all the characters memorized and I felt it was a bit all over the place. About half way through I started to enjoy it more. Kind of a modern version of the Hatfields and McCoys but set in modern day Kansas. There were flashes back to the 1800's when the early settlers of the area and ancestors to the families were united in their quest to help the slaves to freedom. Throw in a ton of religious turmoil and some "love thy neighbor but don't get caught" and you've got the book in a nutshell.
