Dog Rose Dirt is a creepy mixed paced mystery/thriller which follows Heather Evans as she tries to figure out the circumstances around her mothers suicide. What follows is a very twisty and atmospheric look into the world or serial killers, cults and folklore.
It starts off as a slow burner then everything starts moving at whiplash inducing speed with several strands of the storyline diverging and converging again. Sometimes things can be a little difficult to keep track of and I think that's why it wasn't a higher star rating for me.
I switched between the eBook and the audiobook narrated by Emily Pennant Rea. I found the narration really matched the pacing of the book and the character and definitely added to my overall enjoyment of the book.
An enjoyable read for fans of dark complex mysteries.
