Taut with a breakneck pace and a gritty rural neo-noir like no other, this thriller delivers. The staging is impeccable and the characters reside on the thin line of believable with a screenwriter’s sheen. The world of the rural south, specifically the black rural south, is depicted with thoroughness and a dark edge of humor. Fully immersive, I tore through this in a matter of days. Audiobook narration was some of the best I’ve experienced.
