These days, he lives in central Alabama with his wife and two kids. He writes crime, watches too much basketball, and rarely sleeps. Heaven's Crooked Finger is his first novel.

So, let it be said, the only thing that stopped me from reading this in the usual two to three days was that I started it just as I had to begin packing for a move and, during that time, the book was packed away, and was only found a few days ago. So, the length of time has nothing to do with the quality of the novel, just personal circumstance.
As for the novel itself, man, there's so much to unpack here. A rabid Westboro-like cult following far-right Christian group held under the spell of the main character's father who may or may not be dead. The sibling rivalry between the main character and his brother. The fallout of the second generation of the church's followers. The lies and corruption.
And then there's Earl himself, coming back home after almost three decades and confronting that fallout, as well as his history with all of the above.
So, yeah, there's enough here for a trilogy of books, to be fair, but somehow, the author keeps all the balls in the air and moves the story along nicely, introducing the elements organically.
Just a solid read. Really enjoyed this one.… (mais)
