Enthralling southern gothic
I was hanging on every word and loved each character. The story is fantastic and a classic and thrilling southern gothic story. The dark mystery, style, and characters kept me engaged the entire time. I would LOVE more stories like this!
I NEED MORE!!!
… More Fran. More Surly. More Aunt Til (LOVE HER!) And more Sheriff Noble! Pearl River Remains is a *thrill ride* of the Southern mystical senses. You breathe it in and are transported not only to the murky banks of the Pearl River but straight into the chaotic and troubled mind of Fran Boden. Daryl's narration adds the perfect Southern tone to this ghost mystery and makes you feel like you were born with Mississippi mud between your toes. Pearl River Remains is a must-listen that will drag you down into the river's dark, turbulent currents, where you will find comfort.
