'A wise and witty drama of small-town life . . . delivering the generous humour, keen ear for dialogue, and deep appreciation for humanity's foibles that have endeared the author to his readers for decades' Publishers Weekly
Ten years after the death of the magnetic Donald 'Sully' Sullivan, the town of North Bath is going through a major transition as it is taken over by its much wealthier neighbour, Schuyler Springs. Peter, Sully's son, is still grappling with his father's tremendous legacy as well as his relationship to his own son, Thomas, wondering if he has been all that different a father than Sully was to him.
Meanwhile, the towns' newly consolidated police department falls into the hands of Charice Bond following the resignation of Doug Raymer, the former North Bath police chief and Charice's ex-boyfriend.
When a decomposing body turns up in the abandoned hotel situated between the two towns, Charice and Raymer are drawn together again and forced to address their complicated attraction to one another. Across town, Ruth, Sully's married ex-lover, struggles to understand her granddaughter, Tina, and her growing obsession with Peter's other son, Will. Amidst the turmoil, the town's residents speculate on the identity of the unidentified body and wonder who among their number could have disappeared unnoticed.
Brimming with warmth, wisdom and Russo's signature wry humour, Somebody's Fool is another classic from a modern master of storytelling.

18 months after Sully's death, Russo's third and final book in the fool trilogy let's us return to the beloved city of North Bath and its inhabitants. The town is going through a transitioning period, being incorporated into the more affluent Schuyler Springs. The newly consolidated police department is headed by Charice Bond while her (ex?) lover Doug Raymar is wrapping up the department in North Bath. When a body turns up at an abandoned hotel the two are forced to address their complicated relationship. Meanwhile, Peter Sullivan is visited by his middle son Thomas and has to grapple with his and Sully's role as a father. Janey, Ruth's daughter, and mother to Tina also struggles with her role in life. While at first it seems as if the spirit had been finally drained out of North Bath, this book is a plea against hopelessness and let's us know that it is never too late to try again. A must read, albeit "I wished" (Rub) that characters such as Rub, Tina and Andy had gotten to develop on more pages. These loose ends let me hope that there will be another chance to return to this beloved town in a fourth book.
