### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A tale of sisters..
  

*by I***N on Reviewed in India on 1 June 2020*

It's a good family based story of two sisters but does not involve a great mystery unfolding, in case, you're a fan of "edge of the seat" moments like me. Good book for dramatic readers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Strong characters and some truly evocative writing
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in India on 15 May 2021*

Long Bright River is a compelling story of family, sisterhood, and relations, full of suspense and drama. Set In a Philadelphia neighborhood, rocked by the drug crisis, in a city where addiction and crime are now rampant. The story focuses on two sisters, Mickey, a police officer, and her sister, Kacey; an addict and prostitute, who has now drifted far away from Mickey’s life. Then Kacey disappears and at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey's district, and Mickey is in a race against time to find the culprit--and her sister--before it's too late.Long Bright River is both; a story of sisters with ties beyond blood and fate and an engrossing suspense novel focused on the search for Kacey. The story is narrated in alternating timelines; both present and the past. The story is narrated entirely from Mickey's point of view, as she recalls, in flashbacks, the girls' tragic childhoods and their story up to the present. Like a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces begin to fit in slow and the whole picture becomes clear slowly.This is not an easy read. It highlights the rising drug crisis in working-class America and paints a bleak picture of the downward spiral of a drug addict and how it affects entire families. As a mystery, the story has many twists and turns but at its heart, it’s an emotional story. To be fair, it covers many issues like addiction, police corruption, dysfunctional families, and a crime against women but every theme is seamlessly woven through this story. Moore captures the dark and disturbing atmosphere perfectly, like an omnipresent character in the story.Liz Moore does a good job of creating every character in the book, especially Mickey. She's not always the reliable narrator either and neither is her character the most perfect. As we uncover secrets Mickey has avoided dealing with in her adult life, we discover that every character in this book is flawed and hence so human.The story was more of a slow burn than a page-turning thriller. So it may be hard to get into in the beginning. I enjoyed this book but never fully felt invested. While the twists made sense but they weren't ultimately that shocking. The mystery portion of the book did felt lacking as the primary focus is on the family drama.Overall though, Long Bright River is well-written, engaging, and moving at most times. The characters are well crafted and multidimensional. If you love thrillers and family drama, this book is for you.

    MY TOP READ OF 2020 SO FAR!
  

*by B***� on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2020*

Hawkins' quote on the cover of this outstanding novel says exactly what I thought when I closed the book. This is an absolutely stunning psychological crime thriller. The narrative is sharp, the characterisation authentic, the themes of addiction, poverty, and the way our familial history shapes us excellently written and believable, and the plot itself so realistic I kept forgetting I was reading fiction. It reads more like a literary thriller. I'm quite a visual reader anyway but I can really see Moore's work being adapted into a movie. This has shot straight up to my top reads of the year (2020) and it's going to take a very special book to reach anywhere near the same level.Stunning, visceral, and absorbing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a procedural element to their psychological fiction.
