Ugh! I have this one just sitting on my shelves. Why haven’t I read it yet??? I’ve heard such good things about this author’s books. I really want to read it now after reading your thoughts. Hopefully this summer I will finally make the time!

I have both of Attica Locke’s novels on my wishlist and hope to get around to reading them both soon. This sort of smarter mystery has definitely become my go to when I want an escape that also entertains.

In reply to aartichapati. Great news! It is not the second in a series! Both books are one-and-done. So you can read The Cutting Season straight away. :)

In reply to Athira. I liked this one better! Black Water Rising was good, but The Cutting Season I think was better.

In reply to Alice. If only there were a way of knowing ahead of time which books were going to be crap!

In reply to Teresa. Totally agree. My instinct is always to avoid involving the police where possible (I am scared of them), so I sympathized with her a lot.

In reply to Jeanne. Ugh, yuck. And good call skipping the plantation tours -- I haven't been on one in years, but I was very unfond of them back in the day.

In reply to Lisa. Yep, I think that's still the case at a lot of plantations. It is very ick.
