Description

One of Barack Obama's favorite books of the year

Named a Best Book of 2020 By NPR, Parade, Real Simple, and BuzzFeed

An instant New York Times best seller

A Good Morning America Book Club Pick

"[Moore’s] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love." (The New York Times Book Review)

"This is police procedural and a thriller par excellence, one in which the city of Philadelphia itself is a character (think Boston and Mystic River). But it’s also a literary tale narrated by a strong woman with a richly drawn personal life - powerful and genre-defying." (People)

"A thoughtful, powerful novel by a writer who displays enormous compassion for her characters. Long Bright River is an outstanding crime novel.... I absolutely loved it." (Paula Hawkins, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Girl on the Train)

Two sisters travel the same streets, though their lives couldn't be more different. Then one of them goes missing.

In a Philadelphia neighborhood rocked by the opioid crisis, two once-inseparable sisters find themselves at odds. One, Kacey, lives on the streets in the vise of addiction. The other, Mickey, walks those same blocks on her police beat. They don't speak anymore, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling.

Then Kacey disappears, suddenly, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey's district, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit - and her sister - before it's too late.

Alternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters' childhood and adolescence, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: A gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters, addiction, and the formidable ties that persist between place, family, and fate.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"An instant sensation and the January pick for Good Morning America’s book club." (Entertainment Weekly)

"Navigates assuredly between the plot twists and big reveals.... Long Bright River is equal parts literary and thrilling." (O: The Oprah Magazine)

"Truly, this is a great literary novel about a city in the age of opioids and two sisters navigating their past. And in the tradition of many great literary thrillers, I promise you, you will not see the end coming." (NPR)

Don't waste your time

Slow, unimaginative, poorly written, full of tropes. The narrator is dull, equally unimaginative, and drones on. Couldn't finish. Don't waste your time and money.

Amazing story

Beautiful story and a must read! Well written, a little slowly read so I listed on high speed.
The book itself is amazing

Never grabbed me.

One of the ones with so much hype and yet, never captivated me at any point. Interesting but never gripping.

Wow!

That was a painful listen! The narrator was so flat without any sense of emotion or inflection. I’m sure there’s some literary reason that was completely lost on me, but the overuse of ‘says’ and ‘said’ was maddening as well. Too bad, because the story had promise.

Long Winding River - a better title

This story meandered along — mostly away from the "whodunit" part. Perhaps I was expecting more of a crime procedural and, when I didn't get that, I was disappointed. I'm always looking for believable characters but found Mickey to do things and believe things that didn't ring true.

Really well rounded story

I enjoyed the story and the characters, the history between the sisters and their experiences unraveled really nicely. Unfortunately I found the performance bland, the tone was almost apathetic or bored, and didn't fully connect for me.
