This was a good read for those of us who hunger for detail and long to solve the mystery of Thom Thomson's death. It was particularly interesting from an historical point of view as it captured life in Huntsville and surrounding area in the early 1900s. Algonquin Park was a new innovation and clearly one to be launched without incident if all governments had their way. Thomson was clearly an odd duck and there were more than a few suspects for his ultimate demise. Nothing is really made clear with the possible exception of the final resting place of Thomson's body. I was left with a sense of deep regret at the art he might have produced had he survived what was clearly his period of burgeioning creativity.
