Summary
Everybody’s Fool, a novel by Richard Russo, is set in the fictional town of North Bath in upstate New York. There, over the course of one weekend, a crew of local eccentrics juggle long-standing grudges, acute crises, and surreal weather events to the best of their limited abilities. Along the way, readers learn about their troubled pasts.

The mayor, Gus Moynihan, urges Raymer to investigate the cause. As Raymer sets off, he faints and falls into the judge’s open grave before the casket is lowered.
Meanwhile, a handful of locals gather at Hattie’s, a diner run by a woman named Ruth. Carl Roebuck, a disreputable businessman who’s having a problem with one of his developments, the Old Mill Lofts, is chatting with Donald Sully
