Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the 2nd book in the Annie Gore series, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Emily Pike Stewart. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Katie May's estranged father is one of Appalachia's last snake-handling preachers, but when she learns that he has been fatally bitten and a funeral held within 24 hours, she is rightly questioning just what happened. She hires PI Annie Gore to take the case. When Annie arrives in the small Eastern Kentucky town, she realizes that this won't be a quick trip and that someone is looking to stop her investigation.
Another wonderful book following her debut, The Witch's Orchard. I loved heading back to the Appalachian Mountains with Annie in her beloved Datsun 260Z named Honey (BTW, my husband has a 280Z!). Annie is the perfect PI - a tough, ex-Air Force investigator, with her own past to reckon with. The small town atmosphere keeps the plot swirling with secrets and tension, and the characters all feel realistic. I highly recommend the audiobook for both of these books - the narrator is wonderful and I will forever get chills thinking about her snake noises!
