I originally started reading this story myself and was eight chapters in when I decided to begin following along with the audible narration. I was loving the story but found myself struggling to read it on my own due to it's long chapters and the Authors intricate details written throughout. From the second I started the narration, I was enthralled! Narrator Kevin Kenerly brought Tom Franklin's story to life and I became more and more engaged then ever in the story the longer I listened and followed along. I highly recommend listening to the narration as you read this book, because it will make the story that much better! Tom Franklin did a stunning job writing this novel and his attention to detail is beyond impressive. If you enjoy reading mystery and police procedural novels then you will absolutely enjoy this book!
