Adult New Fiction Barr
In 13 ½, Nevada Barr takes a break from her excellent Anna Pigeon park ranger series of mysteries and crafts a perfectly paced, terrifying standalone novel.
This psychological thriller spans several decades, beginning in the 1960s with a family brutally murdered in Rochester, MN by one of their own, the reviled “Butcher Boy”, and continues through the present day with the murder of a tarot reader in New Orleans’s French Quarter. When the past collides with the present, an innocent woman must question what she really knows about her husband. Is she living with a stranger?
This book contains a few necessarily disturbing scenes consistent with the theme of a sociopathic personality. There is no additional, gratuitous violence, however.
