All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By by John Farris

4.0

This is full-on Southern Gothic...with voodoo! The story opens at a military wedding which ends in bloodshed. This event has changed the family forever and we follow the brother, Champ, in the aftermath.

If I had to describe this novel in one word it would be sultry. The writing evokes such an atmosphere and there were times that I had to reread passages because they were so good. I loved how the different threads of the story came together. Plus there were plenty of unsettling scenes and chilling moments.

One thing I do want to mention about this Kindle edition is that there are a lot of typos and punctuation errors. This doesn't affect my rating of the book but it did take me out of the story a few times while I was reading it which is a shame.
