When Brendan Fishback’s sister disappears while on vacation, Brendan and his brother-in-law, Cobb, start to search for her. Police fraud and corruption are just the start of their trouble – they have stumbled into a much bigger mystery…Vivid characters, deft plot twists, and edge-of-your-seat terror make LAKE CHARLES as one of those rare novels that will be read for generations to come.
My thoughts
Set in 1979 Lake Charles is about Brendan Fishback who one night picks up Ashleigh Sizemore, brings her back to a motel, they party and the next morning she is dead. Brendan is the prime suspect, but he needs to deal with his twin sister Edna, who went missing while riding her jet ski. Somehow, these two incidents are connected. While searching for her with his friend and Edna’s husband, Cobb find marijuana plantations and soon not only doe Brendan have to protect himself from the sheriff, he also has to protect himself from drug dealers.
The story begins with a bang and written from the first person, I found it to have promise. The Tennessee Mountain setting was descriptively written and I could imagine what the area was like. But as the story unfolded, I found that I didn’t care for the characters or what happened to them. A quick read for an afternoon sitting.
Disclosure: I received this book for review from the publisher. I received not compensation for my thoughts.
