About this listen

In 1988, Sloan Hadfield's brother Ridge went fishing with their father and never came home. Their father, a good-natured Vietnam veteran prone to violent outbursts, was arrested and charged with murder. Ridge's body was never recovered, and Sloan's mother—a brilliant ornithologist—slowly descended into madness, insisting her son was still alive.

Now, twenty years later, Sloan's life is unraveling. In the middle of a bitter divorce, she's forced to return to her rural Texas hometown when her mother is discharged from a mental health facility.

Overwhelmed by memories and unanswered questions, Sloan returns to the last place her brother was seen all those years ago: Crow's Nest Creek. There, she is shocked to hear a crow muttering the same syllable over and over: Ridge, Ridge, Ridge.

When the body of another boy is found, Sloan begins to question what really happened to her brother all those years ago. What she discovers will shock her small community and turn her family upside down.

A River of Crows is a tale of family secrets, deception, and revenge perfect for fans of Julia Heaberlin and Jennifer Hillier.

If you like suspense, mystery and unexpected turns, this book is for you! I enjoyed the split story line of the book and enjoyed the break in between each segment. You learned a little more each chapter, be it historical events, or details from the current events in the books. Merging all you learn from the past and present made me try to figure out the ending ahead of time. Right when I think i have nailed it down, some other detail would derail my whole thought process. Made it very easy to want to keep going. All the characters are very well developed and easy to like, or dislike in some situations. The narrator was wonder! Easy to listen too but was able to have a distinct style for each character in my opinion.

This is a must listen!

This suspenseful story was so great the first time (I read a hardcover.) that when I saw it go on audio I knew I had to snag it for my Audible Library! First time readers will love the interwoven complex characters and a twist that we ALL love to read from this genre. Gluhm is a master of her craft and I can't wait for more!

A book so nice, I've read it twice!

The story kept me guessing until the last chapters. The narrator was a little too "breathe-y" but it was tolerable. Definitely worth listening to.

Quite a few bends in this river!

Shanessa Gluhm has done it again. This novel, with its finely-drawn characters and unique views of the human condition, was a joy to listen to. There's mystery, betrayal, revenge, love, and the clear understanding that the bond between siblings and parents isn't always easy to understand. Shanessa grabbed this reader on page one and never let go, and Lu Banks' narration was perfection. I love it when the story makes me say, "I never saw that coming!" And Shanessa did that more than once. Well done!!!

Excellent story!

Wasn’t. Crazy about narration. To sweet voice for Sloan. Also severe naivety on her part. The dad was super typical of an entitled man. Hated hearing him too.

I got through it

A must read! I've read it once & listened once. It's just as great the second time!

Loved it!

at times hard to follow it would lose my interest. Long and drawn out to the end of the story like this review.

not much going on til the end, pretty basic.

The narrator drove me nuts! The drawling out of the words was awful. I can’t listen to the authors other book if this person is going to narrate.

I couldn’t enjoy the book…

The narrator ruins this book. She’s so breathy and sounds like she’s whispering the whole thing.

TERRIBLE narration
