Book review: All That is Mine I Carry With Me by William Landay

By Philippa Tracy

Who doesn’t love a good murder mystery? I certainly love a page-turner, a crime novel as well as a good family drama searching for some deeper psychological understanding of the main characters’ motivations. This novel has it all. William Landry’s writing is reminiscent of Scott Turow’s 1987 best-seller Presumed Innocent, which, it has been argued reinvented the murder mystery. That book was credited by the LA Review of Books as being, “a novel that helped shape the literary world we live in today”.
