Fred Chappell recommends
The Sky Club (2022)
Terry Roberts
"The Sky Club is a wagonload of perilous fun. Terry Roberts has engaged, with customary vigor, many of his favorite themes: local Appalachian history, mountain cultures rural and urban, personal and communal courage, individuality. The resulting story is sprightly and steady in the manner of its heroine, the gifted Jo Salter. Every page here shines with truthful surprise. Bravo!"
A Dredging in Swann (2020)
(Seb Creek Mystery, book 1)
Tim Garvin
"Tim Garvin's muscular A Dredging in Swann offers two stories in one. The lawman Seb Creek must unravel a complicated murder. That's the mystery. The suspense tale is whether Cody Cooper, a PTSD afflicted Marine, can extricate himself from his lunatic crime. As the narratives intertwine, they capture both the meanness and humanity of the rural South. The pages crackle with ironic observation and compassionate humor. This book is deadly serious. And serious fun."
A Land More Kind Than Home (2012)
Wiley Cash
"I try to state the truth and dislike flinging superlatives about with mad abandon, but I have been so deeply impressed by this novel that only superlatives can convey the tenor of my thought: this is one of the most powerful novels I have ever read."
