At CrimeReads Willingham tagged eight mysteries that feature Southern settings, including:
Down River by John HartRead about the other mysteries on the list.
Down River begins with Adam Chase returning to his hometown of Rowan County, North Carolina. Five years prior, he wasnarrowly acquitted of a murder charge after the body of a boy was found bludgeoned to death on the banks of a river owned by Adam’s family. Now he’s back for reasons he won’t reveal, and when more bodies start turning up around town and the police begin to narrow in on Adam again, history threatens to repeat itself. Down River features three of my favorite things all wrapped up into one: gorgeously atmospheric writing, a Southern sense of place and complicated familial relationships that make the plot feel both intricate and emotional. You won’t be able to put this one down.
