Our Last Wild Days by Anna Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An atmospheric Southern Gothic thriller about a small town with big secrets set in an alligator-infested bayou. We follow a young reporter looking to find out how her estranged friend really died. Brooding, dark and beautifully described, the story is a slower-burner, with characters who really bring it to life, a downtrodden family, friendships gone wrong, and one woman’s quest for redemption all mingling into one gritty, elegant drama.
