Book Review: ‘Dark Rivers To Cross: A Novel’ By Lynne Reeves

Lena Blackwell runs a river lodge in Maine with help from her two sons, Luke and Jonah. Jonah is in college and Luke was supposed to go, but decides not to. Jonah has questions about his past, as both boys have been told they were in foster care before Lena adopted them. But Lena has secrets that she doesn’t want to tell, and Jonah is asking questions that could unlock her secret, painful past. But the past can never stay buried for long, and we learn her story via flashbacks and then the past becomes reality when all the secrets come out, and it could mean death for those involved. A thriller that is easy to read and a story you will not want to put down. The flashbacks and present day work great here and this is an intense novel.

You can pick up Dark Rivers To Cross in stores on Tuesday, November 8th from Crooked Lane.
