A review by waymona
Decent People by De'Shawn Charles Winslow
3.0
Thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing, I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book in return for my honest review. The book will be released on January 17th.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
This novel begins with the Black community of West Mills, NC, reeling from the murder of three siblings. Set in 1976, it is a slow burn whodunnit that is mostly character study and a little bit murder investigation. As the investigation begins to evolve, dark secrets are revealed.
I enjoyed the pace of this novel. It was very easy to read, even with all the shifting points of view. The racism and homophobia made it an uncomfortable book to read, but it was unflinching in its portrayal of a still-segregated town in the south. I didn’t know until after I started this book that this is the author’s second book set in West Mills, NC. However, both are standalone novels.
