Fateful Mornings: A Henry Farrell Novel | Tom Bouman
5 posts | 8 read | 39 to read
The snow has melted in Wild Thyme, Pennsylvania, but for Officer Henry Farrell, summer has brought nothing but trouble. Heroin has arrived with a surge in burglaries and other crime. When local carpenter Kevin O Keeffe admits he s shot a man and that his girlfriend, Penny, is missing, the search leads Farrell to an industrial vice district across state lines that has already ensnared more than one of his neighbors.Fateful Mornings delivers a thrilling mystery set on the edge of rust-belt America, a place disrupted by gas drilling and the drug trade yet rich with history, music and long-buried secrets. Fans of James Lee Burke and Daniel Woodrell will love Henry Farrell, a cop with the patience of a hunter, who knows the land and local people and hides his own painful secrets. Grit-lit meets wry suspense, along with a keen rendering of place and politics. New York"

Dry Bones in the Valley, his first book, got great reviews. So when I saw this one on Hoopla I had high hopes. But I‘m 65% in and I still don‘t care about the characters or the convoluted plot. Perhaps this would be better read in paper format. 🤷‍♀️

I loved Dry Bones in the Valley and was so excited to read Tom Bouman's new one. It doesn't disappoint. I love the setting, the characters, and the story. I especially love the way Bouman uses language - the first line above is an example of the beautiful, descriptive words he uses to create an image in our minds. "Leaves rattled overhead and fell in glowing sheets around us." How can you not love it?
