A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm – Review by Vanessa Watts

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

This was a new author to me and sometimes you just never know what you’re going to get. I am glad I gave Ms. Gluhm a try with this gripping murder mystery tale because I could not put this book down.

We start off cryptically with a water scene and crows but never truly knows who is exactly speaking to us. Then we find out about Ridge and how they suspected he died but never actually recovered the body. Could that be the voice that started off the story? Sloan is hitting a rough spot in her life with her divorce coming to a close and now her mother checking herself out of her facility. Sloan returns to the town she grew up in and the place where they lost her brother. However, she gets more than she bargained for when things regarding her brother’s death don’t add up. Add in another boy’s body being found and Sloan is on the case to solve exactly what happened to her brother. Unfortunately, what she unravels will shock the entire town.

This book is an amazing read that lets you know when secrets come out, they can’t be taken back. It was a gripping read from start to finish and left you trying to figure out exactly what happened. Some characters you love and others you love to hate which is the telling of a great author. I now need to go read her other books because she definitely knocked this one out of the park.
