This is not as intriguing as the first in the series (Camaro Murders) as the limbo situation is established. It is also not as poignant but is nevertheless a good read: character development and writing are good; well constructed story. ( ) 3.5 *Book source ~ A review copy was provided in exchange for an honest review. A series of events are told from multiple POVs in this tale about a small town named Halgraeve. Several residents and a mysterious otherworldly figure called The Driver tell the tale leading up to the unexpected conclusion. The town of Halgraeve is so depressing in this tale. The writing is so good that I felt like I was there and I just wanted to get the hell out. To run far and fast. To get away from what appeared to be a dead end place in a rundown tiny corner of the world. The different POVs were interesting, but the most interesting character is The Driver of the black Camaro. I didn’t quite understand the world in which he existed most of the time or what his role in the real world was exactly, but I still found him fascinating. It’s not quite my type of book, but it’s a good read all the same. no reviews | add a review

Every town has dirty secrets. And some say the sun doesn’t shine on Halgraeve. All I know is there’s one secret that’s about to be let out, and when it is, this town’s going to burn like the sun. Low-lit haunts...salt-stained roads...a cursed little town. The murdered soul known as the Driver crosses over to the living to find himself steeped in a seething brew of arson, mindless violence, imposters, revenge, lost causes, and second chances. Some motives are more pure than others. Some wills are stronger. And some wrongs won’t get righted on their own. The Driver skirts the fringes of the physical world waiting for the time that he will intervene and claim his own sense of justice. A new short story collection from Ian Lewis featuring The Driver, the otherworldly figure introduced in The Camaro Murders. No library descriptions found. |
