Narration: 5⭐
A crime thriller that follows Burl Spoon, who's a Kentucky cannabis crime boss who believes money and power are everything. He struggles to keep his family together. Burl's hubris crumbles his family and threatens the safety of his granddaughter.
I had higher expectations for this book. I felt the story dragged on mainly because there was very little character growth for Burl, until the end. Everything put into the storyline was thoughtful and necessary. I think I felt like it dragged because everything seemed predictable to me. I didn't hate it but didn't love it. It was an okay read, no regrets.
The narration was great. I felt I was straight in Appalachia and poured into the story. All the characters were distinctly their own. I don't know if I would've finished the book if it was a digital or a physical book because the narration really brought it to life for me.
This book is perfect for those who love noir crime thrillers, and stories about family, power, and redemption.
