About this listen
Bluebird, Bluebird: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules—a fact that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. Deeply ambivalent about growing up black in the lone star state, he was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could. Until duty called him home.
When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders—a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman—have stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment. Darren must solve the crimes—and save himself in the process—before Lark's long-simmering racial fault lines erupt. From a writer and producer of the Emmy winning Fox TV show Empire, Bluebird, Bluebird is a rural noir suffused with the unique music, color, and nuance of East Texas.
*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Story
Writing in the tradition of Dennis Lehane and Greg Iles, Attica Locke, a powerful new voice in American fiction, delivers a brilliant debut thriller that readers will not soon forget. Jay Porter is hardly the lawyer he set out to be. His most promising client is a low-rent call girl and he runs his fledgling law practice out of a dingy strip mall. But he's long since made peace with not living the American Dream and carefully tucked away his darkest sins: the guns, the FBI file, the trial that nearly destroyed him.

Caren Gray manages Belle Vie, a sprawling antebellum plantation that sits between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, where the past and the present coexist uneasily. The estate's owners have turned the place into an eerie tourist attraction, complete with full-dress re-enactments and carefully restored slave quarters. Outside the gates, a corporation with ambitious plans has been busy snapping up land from struggling families who have been growing sugar cane for generations, and now replacing local employees with illegal laborers. Tensions mount when the body of a female migrant worker is found in a shallow grave on the edge of the property.

"A quick course in plotting and nimble characterizations rooted in a vividly evoked setting"—Nicole Lamy, New York Times Book Review
"Gripping, suspenseful and gut-wrenching . . . I've never bought the notion of the Great American Novel. I think when literary historians look back, they'll realize this time had many, but if Attica Locke's Bluebird Bluebird isn't on the list, I'm coming back to haunt them. . . . This is a layered portrait of a black man confronting his own racial ambivalence and ambition told with a pointed and poignant bluesy lyricism. . . . Locke's novel is America 'telling on itself.' Listen up."—Carole Barrowman, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

What’s happening in Acker’s Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker’s Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow?

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret.

Attica Locke’s Genius
This superb novel deserves all the awards an praise it has received and more. It not only places racial politics within the context of history and contemporary life, but writer Attica Locke’s brilliant work reminds millennials and Generation Z youths that the social ills of today have a direct connection to the state of Texas and nation’s past. The award-winning writer’s appreciation for history, southern culture, Black rural life, and class makes this extraordinary story very relevant in the twenty-first century. A native Houstonian, the author’s love for her home state is also inspiring and confirms that despite the ongoing culture wars that divide Americans of the US today, those who have experienced disappointment after disappointment as well as the horrors of racial exclusion, for example, ironically never give up on their complicated ancestral ties and homes, even if these hometown places have failed to protect all its citizens from the stench of bias and exclusion. This, again is amazing and symbolizes God’s love for humanity.

Mystery, Character, Location - loved it
Initially, it felt a bit like entering the story in the middle but once i adjusted my mindset - it just added to the enjoyment. A good story, immersed in an interesting location and very messy. Not always the best decisions were made, but that is real life.

Very Engaging Book
This book is on par with some of Audible's 5-star rated books. It was a great listening experience. The characters were very interesting, and I liked very much how each character was developed. The story had intrigue and suspense. Lastly, I loved how they were able to use music and other sounds to enhance the listening experience. I recommend this book to everyone looking for a tremendous audible experience.

The ending was less than satisfying. Also I had a lot of trouble with the names of the character Randii and Wendy Not ones I associate with deep East Texas or the many, many black folk I know from my days in Spring, Texas.

Captures complex race relations in the area
Reader Mispronounced Attoyac and author referred to it as a bayou rather than a river. I grew up in East Texas so those things grated for me. But the author does a great job describing the inexplicable pull of Texas for those born and raised there, even while disliking so much about it.
