Edge
of Dark Water by Joe R. Lansdale
Do you truly know your friends and family as
well as you think?
Trying to break out of poverty and distress
in a depressing small town three friends come up with a plan. Not a well thought out plan but one that with
some ill-gotten gains can move them from sadness to freedom while doing another
friend a favor.
Sue Ellen, Terry, and Jinx start off on the
wrong foot and things keep getting worse.
As the trio start their journey it becomes less about moving toward freedom
so much as running for it. The
excitement of escape is clouded by the mystery of secrets kept too long for all
the wrong reasons and the addition of a person no one thought would ever join
them.
They all stick together and forge rivers,
valleys, and way too much turbulence for one uncomplicated trip. However, despite the roadblocks and crazy
turns of fate determination is going to keep them on the right path regardless
of who is trying to block it.
The reader takes a journey that will cover every
emotion possible and this showcases great writing on every page.
EDGE OF DARK WATER has certainly piqued my interest. I love the cover too.
