This story is told in third person by multiple narrators and follows a family pulled into the investigation of a murder and missing person in Savannah. The chapters are long with short sections switching back and forth following the various family members and other characters as they search for answers or pull strings for their own objectives.
The descriptive narrative made Savannah come to life before my eyes with vivid, flawed characters many who were combative with their manipulative matriarch, Morgana, but were pulled into the investigation because of their love for their family, friends and home or just what their conscious tells them is right.
This family’s a real piece of Southern work! I came for the mystery and stayed for the characters and they have so infiltrated my head that I feel like I’m writing this review with a slow southern drawl. Several characters, including Morgana, have perfected the art of Southern charm. You know the type I mean, where they’re beautifully polite to your face then walk away leaving you feeling like you’ve been insulted six ways from Sunday.
Recommended for those interested in Savannah’s atmospheric setting and dysfunctional southern families.
