Deer Creek Drive: A Reckoning of Memory and Murder in the Mississippi Delta by Beverly Lowry

challenging informative mysterious medium-paced

4.0

A quite interesting look at a vicious murder that some residents of Leland still refuse to talk about today. Lowry intertwines the story of the murder with her own story growing up in Greenville. The facts of the case are indisputable, but the motive and what actually happened remains a mystery. I heard Lowry speak at the MS Book Festival, and she said that she came to quite like Ruth Dickins. Not that she believed her innocent, but that she grew to like her as a person. I found this so interesting, and I think it spoke to the amount of research that Lowry did to write this book.
