Real Bad Things
Real Bad Things: A Thriller | Kelly J. Ford
2 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
From the author of Cottonmouths, a Los Angeles Review Best Book of 2017, comes an evocative suspense about the cost of keeping secrets and the dangers of coming home. Beneath the roiling waters of the Arkansas River lie dead men and buried secrets. When Jane Mooney's violent stepfather, Warren, disappeared, most folks in Maud Bottoms, Arkansas, assumed he got drunk and drowned. After all, the river had claimed its share over the years. When Jane confessed to his murder, she should have gone to jail. That's what she wanted. But without a body, the police didn't charge her with the crime. So Jane left for Boston--and took her secrets with her. Twenty-five years later, the river floods and a body surfaces. Talk of Warren's murder grips the town. Now in her forties, Jane returns to Maud Bottoms to reckon with her past: to do jail time, to face her revenge-bent mother, to make things right. But though Jane's homecoming may enlighten some, it could threaten others. Because in this desolate river valley, some secrets are better left undisturbed.

Not bad but a little messy and sometimes I was skeptical that anyone would behave the way the characters did.

I've been reading much more slowly than usual - unfortunately I think it's because my last couple books have been duds! Luckily the tagged ARC has really grabbed my attention, just in time for my daughter to head back to school 🎒 and to can the last batch of salsa from the summer garden 🍅
