Blue and Golden Year — Alison Preston

When Kenneth spots maggots feeding on something shiny in the dumpster behind a 7-Eleven, he knows a crime has been committed. But exactly who, what, where, when and how are unravelled through a legion of characters, changes of season, and changes of setting throughout A Blue and Golden Year.. . . creatively populated . . . with some interesting, offbeat characters.Winnipeg Free Press
