A true crime tale of sex, religion, and murder in the deep South.
What The Reviewers Say
Brottman shines in her depiction of the victim’s mother, Cheryl.
Brottman gets a little too cocky — muddying her book with less-pertinent references to, for instance, Hamlet — but... she has the ability to make sense of seemingly inexplicable behavior by zeroing in on the banal desires that lead to it..
An atmospheric tale that unwraps the wholesome, God-fearing exterior of two lovers to show the rot underneath..
