The Long River by Liz Moore has been on my radar ever since God of the Woods, and it did not disappoint.
This story follows two sisters who shared the same childhood but ended up on very different paths—one a cop, the other a drug addict.
With the rich character development I’ve come to expect from Liz Moore, the novel beautifully weaves together family dynamics, deep emotions, and a compelling mystery at its core. This was a five-star read for me. It’s long, but absolutely worth it!
