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.

Story
On a summer night in 1932, 12-year-old Joel Fitchett wanders into an East Texas diner badly beaten and carrying his unconscious brother, Clancy. Although both boys claim they have no memory of what happened, the horrific details are etched into their minds as deep as the scar left across Joel's face. Thirteen years later, both men still struggle with the aftershocks of that long-ago night and the pact they made to hide the truth. When they find themselves at the center of a murder investigation, they make a decision that will change everything: a second lie, a second pact...

This is a must listen!
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.

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

Quite a few bends in this river!
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.

Excellent story!
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!!!

I got through it
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.

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