12.30.2016 - The Devil's Country
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book - highly recommended!
This book is an example of why I love NetGalley - the opportunity to read and review a book by an author I didn't even know existed - and then loved the book! I will be searching out more by this author!
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but was more than pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was drawn into this story.
Arlo is an ex-Texas Ranger - forced to leave his job after his family was murdered. This back story is told from the past interspersed with the present day story. Arlo is wandering aimlessly around the small towns of Texas, getting off the bus whenever he feels the need. He ends up in Piedra Springs and sees a terrified woman and her two children in town begging for help. When the woman turns up dead, Arlo is obsessed with finding out what happened to her children. What he finds is a small town corrupt with dealings from a religious cult just outside of town.
Quick moving plot that keeps you engrossed until you turn the last page!
