About this item
"An increasingly gripping southern-crime tale" for readers of Where the Crawdads Sing and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil—according to a starred review from Booklist—and featured as one of Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Hot New Summer Books"!
In Lo Patrick's latest novel, Arlene resides in a sleepy town nestled in the mountains of northern Georgia, longing to fulfill her dreams of motherhood amid the challenges of her marriage to Tommy, her high school sweetheart. Frustrated and seeking distraction, Arlene takes a part-time job at the local police department, tasked with bagging evidence and delving into cold cases during her shifts. It's here that she becomes captivated by the unsolved mystery of the Broderick boys—three young brothers brutally murdered on Deck River, linked to the tragic suicide of Mitchell Wright, the prime suspect.
Driven by an unyielding curiosity and a personal yearning for purpose, Arlene enlists the help of unlikely allies: the police department's receptionist and a family friend connected to the Wrights. Together, they embark on a quest to uncover the truth buried beneath decades-old secrets and lies. Arlene believes that solving the Broderick case might not only bring justice to the victims but also offer her the clarity and stability she seeks in her own life.
Lo Patrick, acclaimed author of The Floating Girls and a finalist for the Townsend Prize for Fiction, delivers a narrative rich in Southern charm, heartbreak, and characters as vibrant as the Georgia landscape itself. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for weaving intricate mysteries, Patrick crafts a tale that resonates with emotional depth and authenticity, appealing to fans of Southern fiction and lovers of compelling crime narratives alike. 📚❤️
