Overview
This program features multicast narration.
Ken Jaworowski’s Small Town Sins is a gripping Rust Belt thriller that captures the characters of a down-and-out Pennsylvania town, revealing their troubled pasts and the crimes that could cost them their lives.
In Locksburg, Pennsylvania, a former coal and steel town whose best days seem long past, five thousand residents have toughed it out, and have reasons for both worry and hope as this neglected place teeters between decay and renewal. For some of them, their biggest troubles have just arrived.
After years of just scraping by, three restless souls have their lives upended: Nathan, a volunteer fireman who uncovers a secret stash of money in a burning building and takes it; Callie, a nurse whose tender patient may not have long to live, despite the girl’s fundamentalist parents’ ardent beliefs; and Andy, a recovering heroin addict who undertakes a nightmare mission to hunt down and stop a serial predator.
Before long, Nathan’s stolen riches threaten to destroy everyone around him as he tries to cover his haphazard trail of lies. Callie risks her career to grant her young patient a final, and likely illegal, wish. And Andy’s hunger for vigilante justice becomes a fierce obsession that may end in violence.
As their stories barrel toward unexpected ends, Nathan, Callie, and Andy struggle to endure—or escape. They each face their pasts and gamble on their futures, and confront the underside of their rough Rust Belt town. Riveting, evocative, and unforgettable, Small Town Sins is a debut novel that marks the arrival of a major new talent.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
Review
Locksburg, Pennsylvania is the small home town of three unique individuals, Nathan, Andy and Callie. Each one has secrets to hide. Nathan stole money, Andy is after a serial predator and Callie is just wanting to make a young girl’s dream come true.
Lord have mercy, just about everyone in this town is committing one felony or another, for one reason or another. I love the story for each character and don’t think you won’t question whether you will commit each of these crimes. It is like a moral compass. This is an emotional and sensitive read which brings many questions into your focus. And these characters…they will stick with you!
The novel has quite a few moving parts, but the way the audiobook if formatted, it is easily followed and BOY did I enjoy it. I love it when an audiobook has more than one narrator. This book has Chris Ciulla, Jennifer Blom and John Pirhalla as the narration team and they are superb.
Need a just a poignant, good story…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
