The Devil's Country
The Devil's Country | Harry Hunsicker
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Former Texas Ranger Arlo Baines didn’t come to the tiny West Texas town of Piedra Springs to cause trouble. After his wife and children were murdered, Arlo just wants to be left alone. Moving from place to place seems to be the only thing that eases the pain of his family’s violent end. But a chance encounter outside a bar forces him to rescue a terrified woman and her children from mysterious attackers. When the woman turns up murdered the next day—her children missing—Arlo becomes the primary suspect in exactly the same type of crime he is trying desperately to forget. Haunted by the fate of his family, and with the police questioning the existence of the dead woman’s children, Arlo decides it’s his duty to find them. The question is, just how deep will he have to sink into the dusty secrets of Piedra Springs to save them and clear his name?

I have a review up for Harry Hunsicker's The Devil's Country. It's a popcorn thriller, enjoyable but not entirely satisfying. I still recommend it if you're looking for a "cult up on the hill" story, a knock-off Jack Reacher book, or a story about a disgraced Texas Ranger and you've already read Bluebird, Bluebird. #CountryNoir https://hillbillyhighways.wordpress.com/2019/02/27/country-noir-the-devils-count...

I'm a big fan of "let's go investigate the mysterious cult on the hill" novels, so this book was right up my alley. I do wish that more focus had been placed on the cult itself, though, instead of having the plot center on Arlo, a former Texas Ranger, trying to find two kids who might have escaped the cult. His attempts to find them quickly became repetitive, and that time could have been better spent describing the actual cult.
