Carolina Moonset

 

“Carolina Moonset” by Matt Goldman

Finished 6/19/22 – 3/5 stars

I found this to be more of good story rather than a mystery.  Yes, there is a murder to be solved, but I thought the main character’s relationships and interactions with others to be what truly grounded the book and made it more interesting. 

 Joey Green returns home to Beaufort, SC to visit his parents.  He sends his mother off to FL with friends to give her a break from taking care of his father who is suffering from a disease that causes short term memory loss.  While she is gone, a man his father despises is murdered.  Could his father have snuck out and done it and just not remember?  The police believe he could have and Joey’s not 100% sure he didn’t.  The only way to protect his father from persecution is to find out who the murderer is.  And to do that, he’ll have to dig into the past.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forge Books for gifting me with an advanced copy to read and review.
