About this listen

For fans of Cottonmouths by Kelly J. Ford comes Negative Girl: an evocative, moody, neo-noir thriller that explores obsession and people dying across America's forgotten spaces.

Martin Wade lived hard in his youth, but unlike many of his former bandmates and roadie friends, he didn’t die young. Instead he hit the recovery path, cleaned up his life, and became a private investigator in a dying city in upstate New York.

When his heavily tattooed and scarred assistant Valerie sets up an appointment with a young woman who needs help keeping her biological father away from her, none of the three realize that the father is Martin’s old bandmate, still using, and on a destructive path that will soon be headed straight for Martin’s clean life. As Martin struggles, Valerie becomes increasingly obsessed with their new client’s life.

A Must Listen for Fans of Literary Mysteries

There are books that you read and then put down (or put away…or, honestly, put away without finishing). This book, at least for me, is not one of them. As other reviews have pointed out, there is much to commend about the structure of the underlying mystery, and the careful inclusion of marginalized voices is more than welcome. But past all that, this is a book that cuts right to the bone about not only what it means to be a person in this broken world, but what it means to be a broken person striving to make this world a better one…and the brave, if small acts, needed to do accomplish that.

And, as complete as the book is as a document to be read, the audio version adds an element that even ardent fans of Cudmore’s writing would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn’t give it a listen. The charm of veteran character actor Jay Karnes, coupled with the inimitable voice of the author herself, affords an immersive experience that is rarely equaled, if ever.
