I went into this one a little blind and I’m so happy that I did. The writing was phenomenal - I could feel the emotion coming off the pages as I devoured and savored every word. I loved that the formatting of the text was a little different (no quotation marks and no chapters). It really grasped me and added an element of flow that often feels lacking in novels.

4.5 stars-This was so good. I found it to be very relatable. A great “cop show” mystery.
The Long Bright River had been sitting on my shelf for a couple of months now. I was so excited to read it but was overbooked by reading commitments until this month I made my own reading more of a priority. I was hooked the moment I read the first chapter. The writing style is excellent and I was immediately drawn to the characters and plot of the story. This book is definitely more character driven than action but I don’t mind that.
