À propos de cet audio

Award-winning author Wanda Morris returns with a powerful, haunting thriller following a lawyer who after the mysterious disappearance of a local landowner and the death of his sister just months before, uncovers a conspiracy that dates back to Reconstruction and persists in half the United States today.

Deena Wood’s life has fallen apart in the aftermath of losing her beloved mother, her marriage, and her prestigious job at an Atlanta law firm. She needs what the Geechee people of coastal Georgia call a “dayclean,” a fresh start.

She returns to her childhood home in Brunswick, Georgia, to heal. But her return is anything but the respite she thought it might be. To make peace with all her loss, she often drives through the city. One day, she unwittingly finds herself on the oceanfront property of a loner widower who is fighting to keep land that has been in his family since the end of the Civil War. He threatens her and warns her to never return. But shortly after, he disappears, and his very expensive property is quickly put up for sale. Curious about what has happened to the man, Deena digs into his disappearance and finds a family legacy at risk. What starts out as a bit of curious snooping, turns into a deadly game of illegal land grabs and property redevelopment in poor and rural communities with dark and powerful forces at work.

Without realizing it, Deena finds herself caught up in a nightmarish scheme that threatens her community and her family. She’ll need help and finds it in a close but unlikely source because she knows she must do whatever it takes to stop the sinister forces at play before she becomes their next target.

The story is engaging. However, I could not get past the primary narrator ending her sentences with a lilt, like a question, in an almost sing-song manner. I almost gave up listening several times due to that but continued because the premise of the story was engrossing and the rest of the narrative was certainly very well performed.

Deals of the Day are always iffy but this one matched any of my favourite authors. The history and ensuing plot were quite interesting and full of information.

I wasn't expecting the speculative part of this book. At first it threw me off, but I eased into it. It wrapped up kind of weird which led to the four instead of five stars. I like that the author was inspired by real events and I learned something new about the subject.

Unexpected

I purchased this book on Audible because it was on promotion for $2.99 and the summary looked interesting. After having listened to it, I actually regret having spent the three bucks! There was great potential here to deal in a literary way with a serious issue of injustice, however the author blew it by writing a predictable, movie-of-the-week-style plot that a high school English student could've come up with. It was so bad that it prompted me to write my first book review after YEARS AND YEARS of being an Audible member.

One of the worst books I've ever read
