An engrossing, breakout stand-alone suspense novel with heart by New York Times best-selling and Emmy Award-winning author Matt Goldman
Joey Green has returned to Beaufort, South Carolina, with its palmettos and shrimp boats, to look after his ailing father, who is succumbing to dementia, while his overstressed mother takes a break. Marshall Green’s short-term memory has all but evaporated, but, as if in compensation, his oldest memories are more vivid than ever. His mind keeps slipping backward in time, retreating into long-ago yesterdays of growing up in Beaufort as a boy.
At first, this seems like a blessing of sorts, with the past providing a refuge from a shrinking future, but Joey grows increasingly anxious as his father’s hallucinatory arguments with figures from his youth begin to hint at deadly secrets, scandals, and suspicions long buried and forgotten. Resurfacing from decades past are mysteries that still have the power to shatter lives—and change everything Joey thought he knew.
Especially when a new murder brings the police to his door....
Both suspenseful and deeply moving, Carolina Moonset is an engrossing novel about family, memories both golden and terrible, and secrets too dangerous to stay hidden forever, from New York Times best-selling and Emmy Award-winning author Matt Goldman.

Bradford Hastings did an excellent job bringing voices to the characters. Loved his narration of the father telling stories as he remembers the past and laughs until he cries.

As a child of southern parents and having spent much time in the south (living just north of SC presently, as a matter of fact) I do have to say that the narrator doesn't portray southern women very well at all. He makes them all sound harsh, old, and querulous. In fact, these characters whose dialog he so horribly butchered should have been heard in melodious, gentle tones.
However, the story itself was a marvel: well written, well plotted and mostly all ends tied up at the end. There were two little points that were never explained, but that's a quibble.
I enjoyed Matt Goldmans previous books, but this one was of a superior calibre than even those. At first I was dismayed that this was yet another in the current trend of novels about someone with short-term memory loss. I mean, really, can't authors come up with something new? But in most aspects it was quite original; the exchange of banter between Joey and Leila was delightful and each scene written in a way that was commiserate with its importance to the novel. The stories told by Marshall were wonderful and well narrated.
Well done, Matt, well done.
Most excellent!
