A human skull is found in the small, God-fearing town of Bottom Springs, Louisiana. Ruth Cornier is the sheltered, submissive daughter of the Reverend. And Everett is known as “The Devil’s Son.” Ruth and Everett become unlikely friends and they discover some harsh truths about the most powerful men in town.

I liked this book a lot – it reminded me of Where the Crawdads Sing. 4/5
