As is the case with Vernon’s first two novels Eden (2002) and Logic (2004), A Killing in This Town comes to readers straight from Vernon’s thoughts and pen. In this way, the novel suffers from a certain randomness of development that is likely to frustrate the reader who expects to find a lucidly outlined and logically progressive, even if modernist, plot. Indeed, most of Vernon’s writing could benefit from more narrative discipline. Not so paradoxically, however, is the fact that it is through this rejection of narrative discipline and, conversely, through a commitment to a kind of raw artistry that the novel achieves its authenticity.

C. A Killing in This Town has a narrative structure that both adds to the novel’s worth and detracts from its accessibility.
