All these facts we learn pretty early on, so the book is not so much about the plot but about the rational behind it and the characters who are living it. Wade marries again but his new wife Ann soon also has to take on the role as caretaker, as Wade is suffering from early onset Alzheimer’s. June, who witnesses the event, runs away out of fear and has not been seen since that day. Jenny kills her youngest daughter with a machete while the family is on a trip to get wood for the winter. So what aspect of this novel should I focus on? Basic plotline: the parents, Jenny and Wade, and their two daughters June and May live a pretty normal live in the mountains of Idaho, until one day a horrific event changes everything. I know, it sounds like a lot but in most of the categories, Ruskovich actually delivers. Emily Ruskovich’s genre defying debut Idaho is a gruesome crime novel, psychological character story, mystery novel, medical drama and love story all in one.
