Not impressed.
A town of “followers” in a sad Louisiana bayou where people “disappear” or die but no one seems to investigate til years later?
I have to say I put this book down several times and might have left it-so many good books out there.
I read this as a book club selection, one that is merging all our clubs (Romance, Mystery, Thriller, Historical) together for a celebration. We wanted a book that might crossover several lines. So you see I had to finish it.
I felt too much drag at certain points in the story, it lost its mystery. Some characters remain flat throughout the book. I haven’t read any other books by Winstead. Her descriptive writing was enjoyable so I will give her a second chance.
