This is a new author for me and I bought Long Bright River because I loved the title and it was on sale for 99p. I enjoyed the thriller elements of the book overlapping with family drama as Mickey tries to solve grisly murders which searching for addict sister hoping she won't turn up dead. The book moves between the present and past showing how Mickey and Kacey have been shaped and damaged by the past by parental neglect. In the community where they live murder and sex crimes are common and Mickey struggles to get anyone to listen to her. I found this a gripping read.
