The Drinking Gourd (April 2022) News and Reviews...
“A confident and compelling debut by an author to watch! Timely and thought-provoking, The Drinking Gourd combines a solid mystery with a riveting and brave look at the tensions of history, and the way the past haunts us--until we face it. Main character Casey Cavendish is tough and wonderful—and we root for her all the way. Do not miss this!” — Hank Phillippi Ryan. USA Today Bestselling Author of Her Perfect Life "The Drinking Gourd resonates with vivid characters ensnared in a web of love, betrayal, and greed that roils just below the surface of a sleepy college town. Wrongly sent to prison for dealing cocaine, Casey, the hero-rebel-victim, fights to clear her name before she’s framed a second time, this time for murder. Fast, a fresh new voice in the crime fiction world, offers a twist on the damaged heroine and a powerful sense of place with echoes from the Underground Railroad.” — Kate Flora, award-winning author of the Joe Burgess series “Two compelling characters, one an ex-con, the other a cop, take you on a wild ride as they untangle the mysteries that haunt the past, shatter the present, and threaten the future. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.” — Barbara Ross, Author of the Maine Clambake Mysteries and the Jane Darrowfield Mysteries |
