Ron Rash

Rash fans, take note: Another great read set in small town Appalachia, lyrical, as much poetry as prose.  Les, a soon-to-be-retired county sheriff, Becky his friend who was a survivor (sort of) of a school shooting as a child, C.J. the kid everyone bullied but who probably saved Les’s life, and various other characters provide a story of contemporary evil and long-sought-for redemption.  Ron Rash never disappoints. – Sue Fleming
