Candlemoth: A Thriller | R. J. Ellory

2 posts | 1 to read

With the verve and gift for gripping storytelling that made his previous books, including A Quiet Belief in Angels, international bestsellers, R. J. Ellory returns with a sweeping saga of murder and retribution in 1960s America. Daniel Ford has thirty days to live: accused of the horrific murder of his best friend Nathan twelve years before, he has exhausted all appeals and now faces the long walk to the electric chair. Father John Rousseau is the man to whom the last month of Daniel's life has been entrusted. With time running out, Ford begins to tell his story, beginning with his first meeting with Nathan, aged six by a South Carolina lake, through first loves, Vietnam, the death of Kennedy, and finally their flight from the draft which ended in Nathan's brutal murder. A stunning suspense novel and tale of a lost friendship, Candlemoth is for all fans of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

Another of my favorite authors. I have read all of his books but still have Carnival of Shadows and Mockingbird Songs left on my TBR. The book that he first won an award for is A Quiet Belief in Angels so I suggest you start with reading that one although Candlemoth is a definite favorite too. What I like about his writing is he knows how to evoke your emotions. If you haven‘t read his books, you need too!

Dogearedcopy I‘ve only read two: ‘A Quiet Belief in Angels‘ (which completely unnerved me) and ‘A Simple Act of Violence (which didn‘t do much for me at all!) I was thinking I would probably like his work prior to ASAOV and was thing about ‘A Quiet Vendetta.‘ 6y

EadieB @Dogearedcopy I think he told me that his wife‘s favorite is ‘A Quite Vendetta.‘ You should read ‘Candlemoth.‘ (edited) 6y
