The Witch's Orchard
The Witch's Orchard: A Novel | Archer Sullivan
9 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
A ninth generation Appalachian herself, Archer Sullivan brings the mountains of North Carolina to life in The Witchs Orchard, a wonderfully atmospheric novel that introduces private investigator Annie Gore. Former Air Force Special Investigator Annie Gore joined the military right after high school to escape the fraught homelife of her childhood. Now, shes getting by as a private investigator and her latest case takes her to an Appalachian holler not unlike the one where she grew up. Ten years ago, three little girls went missing from their tiny mountain town. While one was returned, the others were never seen again. After all this time without answers, the brother of one of the girls wants to hire an outsider, and he wants Annie. While she may not be from his town, she gets mountain towns. Mountain people. Driving back into the hills for a case this oldit might be a fools errand. But Annie needs to put money in the bank and she cant turn down a case. Not even one that dredges up her own painful past. In the shadow of the Blue Ridge, Annie begins to track the truth, navigating a decades worth of secrets, folklore of witches and crows, and a whole town that prefers to forget. But while the case may have been buried, echoes of the past linger. And Annies arrival stirs someone into action.

It always seems like a great reading month is followed by a slump. Or is that just a me thing? I put some books that I‘m super excited about on my November tbr.

Headinherbooks_27 I loved the Salt and Broom. I highly recommend it especially for those who love Jane Eyre with a witchy twist. 5d
Mshookquilts I think you‘re right. After a good period of intense reading, whether the books are just as good or not, they don‘t hold you as well. 2d
wildwoodreads @Headinherbooks_27 I‘m reading it right now! I love it. 2d
wildwoodreads @Mshookquilts Exactly! 2d

@AmyG I squealed when I opened both books! I‘m so excited to read them. The Ghostwriter has been catching my attention and I almost bought it the other day! And I may or may not have had a fourth of the Sour Patch strawberries already. 😅

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

This was the only audiobook that held my attention last week enough to listen to it instead of exclusively playing “The Life of a Showgirl”! (Which, of course, I‘m still doing!) The Appalachian setting was palpable and I loved the different versions and allegorical interpretations of the local legend of the “Witch of Quartz Creek”. The ending didn‘t fully work for me, but I liked it overall and would read another book by this author! 🎧

AileenRR What are your favorites off of Showgirl? 4w
ICantImReading @AileenRR all of them, haha! But today‘s top 3… hmm… Father Figure, Ruin the Friendship, Elizabeth Taylor? How about you? 🥰 4w

I haven't read a mystery that gave me this much of a sense of place in a while. 'The Witch's Orchard' is very atmospheric, set in mountain country. Annie is a PI, hired to find out what happened to three missing girls ten years ago. The second girl was returned, but the other two were never found. I really liked Annie as a character. She was very well-rounded. I hope this becomes a series as I would follow Annie's mysteries anywhere. 5 stars.

I really enjoyed this series starter starring PI Annie Gore and set in the Appalachians of North Carolina. Good world building with an almost Gothic creepy feel to it. Good plot but a bit over-the-top denouement (which I can live with 🤣).
Looking forward to more in this series.

4.25/5⭐️
