About this listen
Morris Drummond is not at his best. Well, he hasn't been at his best for a while now. But having just suffered two crushing losses, he's almost at rock bottom, which for him means driving ride-share in his mom's beat up Chevy, drowning his sorrows in tacos and spray cheese, and avoiding anything related to ambition, self-care, or laundry.
Morris is about to learn that he didn't even know what rock bottom looked like, and it's all thanks to his mom. A secret she left behind comes to light, and that brings down a lot of unwanted attention on Morris, the kind that looks likely to send him either to prison or to the hereafter. Blood and treachery from long ago rise to the surface, and Morris has only his lawyer Annie, who's an old high school friend, and a few unexpected allies to call on as he tries to figure out what his mom was up to and why so many people want him out of the picture.
A humorous mystery with elements of suspense and thrillers, What Grows from the Dead is set in present-day small-town North Carolina, not far from the mysterious Uwharrie Forest.
Content warnings: Coarse language throughout; some gun violence (not graphic).

Excellent story and narration
I enjoyed this crime fiction story very much, there was lots of action and twists throughout. Morris' character was well written and relatable. I also enjoyed his daughter Mindy and his attorney was a hero in disguise. There was several lighthearted moments which made me chuckle keeping the story entertaining amongst the police corruption.
I received a free copy from StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

A Fascinating & Fun Mystery Thriller
I was entertained by this story, and I thought it was great fun. I enjoyed the complex mystery. I felt for Morris Drummond who was struggling to deal with all the complications of his life. I liked Morris' relationship with his daughter and his quirky passenger. There were moments when I was very amused by the dialogue and events. I thought Tim Alexander's narration was great, and his performance was entertaining. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

What a fun!
This wasn't my first Dave Dobson book/audiobook. Another fun book. the story is intriguing and balanced by fun, wit, and light-hearted notes. In particular, I liked the fact that the everyday guy that gets caught up in the big event stays everyday and common in many ways and doesn't suddenly become some super-human. He has growth, but it felt more real.
The book was performed well. and the combination led to a fun listen. I started on a Tuesday and finished it on Friday - just to say I was compelled to listen to it to find out what happens next.
