A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm – Review by Enisha Reaves

A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a beautifully written novel full of atmospheric storytelling, mystery, a murder, lies, and secrets with well-rounded characters, then this read is for you.

A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm is written in 2 timeliness. The past, 1988 when main character, Sloan Hadfield’s went missing after a fishing trip with their father and 20 years later in 2008 as she is forced back to her hometown, where it all happened.

This story was masterfully crafted by the author. The well-rounded and beautifully flawed characters help build the plot that is full of mystery, intrigue, and lies. My weakness is a flawed character, and this book is full of them. The way the story unraveled had me gasping and not wanting to stop reading. This slow burn builds to a blazing fire that will leave you satisfied but so sad that it ended. I was already a fan after reading Enemies of Doves, but this book solidified my need to read everything this author will ever publish.

Happy Reading!
