Ghosts of the Big Sandy River

by Edward Hartshorn

When newcomers Clayton and Scot Hall investigate ghosts, myths, and legends of Louisa and Fort Gay, they discover a fifty-year secret. The townsfolk don’t appreciate the intrusion and do not hesitate in showing their displeasure. Soon, the brothers face more than they could ever imagine. Mysteries abound from Pine Hill Cemetery to Paddle Creek, reaching back to the Civil War and the war of Vietnam. Sometimes death has nothing to do with dying.

I grew up in Louisa, having moved away in my 20s. It was nice to read this book and be able to revisit my hometown in my mind. It made me relive some of my youth as I seeked out the haunts as a young teen. The Big Sandy area is rich in history and ghost stories. I hope Edward thinks about a continuation into Clayton and Scot’s story in the near future.

I loved this book. Clever writing. Good pacing. I love reading books set in places I know in real life. It helps me imagine the story. The reverence for the Marine Corps was a huge plus. I won’t spoil it but I’ll give you a hint: The ending gives Semper Fi a whole new meaning.
