A review by spookyjane
Little Sister Death by William Gay

3.0

This was between okay and good for me. I liked [b:Twilight|108315|Twilight|William Gay|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328910322s/108315.jpg|104375] more. There wasn't really anything wrong with it, I just wasn't as engaged in the story. I did like the premise though and that David investigated a real witch/haunting story for his novel. The atmosphere was outstanding, as usual, but I didn't mesh with how the women were treated throughout. And I understand that it all took place in the past, but even the parts that took place in the 80's was pretty appalling.

I really liked
the open ending and 'unsolved-ness' of the case/story, which really drove home the eerie-ness of the events, even more so than some of the descriptions of the occurrences.


All-in-all, it was good, and I'm glad I read it. The audiobook was really well done, and I quite enjoyed the narrator, [a:T. Ryder Smith|2978300|T. Ryder Smith|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-82093808bca726cb3249a493fbd3bd0f.png], as was [b:Twilight|108315|Twilight|William Gay|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328910322s/108315.jpg|104375]. He really captures the setting, atmosphere, and tension well.
