3.31.2024 - Where the Crawfish Swim

Where the Crawfish Swim by Andrea  Smith 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Books Go Social for gifting me a digital ARC of this true-crime inspired fiction story by Andrea Smith - 4 stars!

Inspired by the real life 2016 Pike County, OH, massacres, this is a fictionalized story of the killings of one family by another.  In this story, DEA Agent Dalton Edwards is tasked with fitting in with the locals in order to uncover possible drug operations.  Dalton discovers the community is tight-knit and strangers aren't trusted.  But he works hard and soon becomes privy to more than a few secrets.   

The author uses the notorious names of the Hatfields and McCoys to show how these two neighboring clans fought for what they thought was rightfully theirs.  And what they would do to make sure they got it.  It's a sad reflection on what money and power can do to an evil heart.  Well written, this book will keep your interest and you'll be hoping the bad guys get theirs in the end.
