Code of the Hills by Chris Offutt
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
Let me disclose that this is book three and I did not read books one and two and I listened to this one and it is narrated by one of my favorite authors narrators.
I am always up for a good crime series, but I never fully connected with Mick, the detective. I'm guessing this is due to me picking up book three. But I did enjoy the mystery and figuring what if anything linked the murders. I felt like I was in Appalachian Ky and thought of Justified as I read it.
George Newbern did a great job bringing the story to life and representing the characters. I see such rave reviews of the start of the series, so I'm off to look those books up.
