Well deserved win for Edgar Awards Best First Novel!

Here is the full list of winners: https://crimereads.com/mwa-announces-the-2023-edgar-award-winners/

A good book with a twisty ending! If you live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, then you‘ll really like this book as it‘s chock full of place references. And the protagonist is a smart-aleck, so it‘s fun to read. If you don‘t know the Twin Cities, you‘ll learn a lot!

Arkansas high school running back Billy Lowe is dirt poor, angry and abused by his mother‘s boyfriend. But his voice is pure and it‘s hard not to be sympathetic for someone who grew up as he did. The coach tries to help him, as does the coach‘s daughter. Can he be saved? This one is worth your time.

A football mystery! A small town coach who has made it through the foster care system knows how hard it is for his Star running back. Sometimes football is all that they have. Great read.

I really enjoyed this intriguing mystery, set in east Texas in the 1930's. The atmosphere and setting were perfect for this story. Harry is a great protagonist and I just loved getting to know him and his family. His relationship with his grandmother was just 🥺🥺😍
4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

YAAAASSSSS! Absolutely loved this audiobook. Seriously, the BEST author-narrated book I‘ve ever heard. He was off the charts. Increadible All-American/Friday Night Lights Grit Lit. Will almost certainly be a top ten of the year read for me. #ARC #audiobook #Netgalley

This wasn‘t a bad book but I struggled to remain engaged. The characters were hard to root for and had little redeeming qualities…and the end was depressing but very realistic. Not like Friday Night Lights for me although they tried comparing it to that in synopsis.
