Description

No one ever talks about what happens in Little Compton...When David left home three years ago, he never looked back. Now, the only connection to his tiny New England hometown is his grandmother Maggie, whose mind is unraveling as she slowly succumbs to dementia. But when her best friend turns up dead and she may be the sole witness to the crime, David has no choice but to return to a place that never accepted his trans identity and only ever wanted him gone.Maggie's testimony is shrouded in doubt―in between moments of lucidity she talks about things that never happened, about apparitions, disappearances, and murders. But are they really only stories? After a man's death sets off a hauntingly familiar chain of events, it seems there's some truth to Maggie's words.With a body count on the rise, David begrudgingly tunes back into the rural voices of the tight-knit community to seek out the truth. And while David returns home a changed man, he finds that the ghosts of his past have waited for him. He'll have to face them head-on before he can begin to unravel his grandmother's story and finally put to rest the mysteries of this little town, lost in the fog.Even if no one talks about what happens in Little Compton, the dark currents beneath the silence create baffling crime puzzles for transgender sleuth David to unravel, and promise that the past is never sunk as deep as we think.

I LOVED Dark Currents!I did not see this one coming. It snuck up on me like a sneaker wave and completely bowled me over.There is a lovely little mystery within a murder mystery in this story that some reviewers said they guessed pretty early on, but I didn't! Lots of twists and turns kept me guessing until the end, like the very end. Every time I thought it was wrapped up, it wasn't. So fun!Even better than they mystery though were the characters! I loved the way Burgess brought the characters to life. The MC is a Trans man - this is my first Trans MC and it put such a unique stamp on the story. So wonderful. Then comes the Laughing Sarahs, otherwise known as the MC's grandmother and aunts and they were a hoot! Sarcastic, caring, know-it-all women who just jumped off the page. The one-liners that were dropped throughout this book had me rolling and actually laughing out loud.Dark Currents is set in the Eastern seaboard amongst a small town. Between the small town gossips and the foggy, ocean setting, I felt like I was completely immersed in this literary murder mystery.I want to tell everyone to pick this on up and read it. It's such a wonderful book from start to end. An easy 5 stars for me and this may make my Top 10 of 2022!I don't think I've ever read a #PoisonedPenPress book that I didn't like but this may just be my favorite from this publisher. They've picked an amazing storyteller to publish in Doug Burgess. Can't wait for his next book!!
