This book will be one of my books of the year.
(My edition was read by Lachel Carl)
It reminded me of an American Ann Cleeves novel. A crime set around a small community with humanity at the heart of the plot.
In this case, the small community is a small museum set up on an ex slave village in Louisana. However, this museum is situated next to a working sugar farm run a corporate company. A body is found right on the boundary.
I couldn't put this book down, it was gripping whilst also having a beating heart of warmth.
I will definitely be reading more by Attica Locke. She is brilliant.
