"What Garrison Keillor has done for Lake Wobegon, Edgerton has done
for Listre, creating a place of battered charms and dog-eared
lore."
-"The Washington Post
"
"Here, evil comes to sleepy Listre, N.C., circa 1950, in the form
of a stranger with a pencil-thin mustache and a trunkful of dirty
movies. Listre is the kind of rustic crossroads where the most

truck, where boys slip over to the Gulf station for a Nehi and a
peek at the pinup calendar, and where everybody knows everybody
else's secrets. It's the kind of place, in other words, where it
seems like nothing ever changes-until the fateful day when
everything changes at once."
"-""Entertainment Weekly
"

"His best book since "Walking Across Egypt.""
"-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"

returned to Listre . . . and for his legions of fans, that's cause
for rejoicing. . . . "Where Trouble Sleeps "features an array of
the wonderfully human, often quirky characters we've come to
expect. . . . As always, Edgerton skewers the hypocritical and
sanctimonious with hilarious deftness. . . . Beneath the comic
flourishes lies
