Death in the Absence of Rain: Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles: Book 15

Review: "Pirtle has an unusual voice. His language is generally terse and to the point, with no words wasted. (Perhaps that’s his journalistic background coming through!) But, more unusual, its rhythm has a poetic feel to it: indeed, in places, he blurs the lines between poetry and prose. Plus, he knows which levers to pull to keep you turning the pages." In Texas, it has been a long, hot summer. Blistering temperatures. Scorched earth. An empty sky. No rain at all. Trapped in the midst of a generational drought, the water level of Magnolia Bluff’s Burnet Reservoir begins to drop, and the ghost town of Crystalline Flats slowly comes back from the dead. When the river was dammed to create the reservoir, the flood had overwhelmed the dying old town and left it buried underwater. Now the ruins are rising like skeletons of stone and wood from their watery grave. And the secrets of Crystalline Flats are secret no longer. They tell a dreadful tale of murder. And who lives and who will kill again to make sure the mysteries from the past remain hidden and silenced forever? Some believed their past sins were washed away. Now those sins are back to haunt the guilty.
