Explanation Supposing Books Let Me Die in His Footsteps

In the spellbinding and suspenseful Let Me Die in His Footsteps, Edgar Award–winner Lori Roy wrests from a Southern town the secrets of two families touched by an evil that has passed between generations.

On a dark Kentucky night in 1952 exactly halfway between her fifteenth and sixteenth birthdays, Annie Holleran crosses into forbidden territory. Everyone knows Hollerans don’t go near Baines, not since Joseph Carl was buried two decades before, but, armed with a silver-handled flashlight, Annie runs through her family’s lavender fields toward the well on the Baines’ place. At the stroke of midnight, she gazes into the water in search of her future. Not finding what she had hoped for, she turns from the well and when the body she sees there in the moonlight is discovered come morning, Annie will have much to explain and a past to account for.

It was 1936, and there were seven Baine boys. That year, Annie’s aunt, Juna Crowley, with her black eyes and her long blond hair, came of age. Before Juna, Joseph Carl had been the best of all the Baine brothers. But then he looked into Juna’s eyes and they made him do things that cost innocent people their lives. Sheriff Irlene Fulkerson saw justice served—or did she? 

As the lavender harvest approaches and she comes of age as Aunt Juna did in her own time, Annie’s dread mounts. Juna will come home now, to finish what she started. If Annie is to save herself, her family, and this small Kentucky town, she must prepare for Juna’s return, and the revelation of what really happened all those years ago

Critique Appertaining To Books Let Me Die in His Footsteps

I am always drawn to these southern gothic toned novels. This has two different storylines, one in the near past and one in the present, two families, The Banes who have all boys and the Hallorans, who have all girls. Of course the novels draws from this, using wanting and having to illustrate good versus evil. Or is anyone purely both? Also some of the women in this town have a little extra knowing and the book starts with one of the superstitions and customs in which this town believes. This

Let Me Die is one of those novels where I'm hesitant to say too much out of fear of giving away its secrets - and trust me, this is a novel you'll want to discover all on your own - but I worry my reluctance to go into detail is going to make for a rather lackluster review when Let Me Die is actually one of the best books I've read this year and will absolutely be appearing again on my Top Reads of 2015 list! So please, please don't assume that my vagueness or tight-lipped review means I hated

Atmospheric but lightweight. Ultimately the prose is tiresome in its repetition. I get it, these are simple folk with their homespun superstitions, who don't know what to make of young women with blonde hair, black eyes, and a burgeoning sexuality. The last third of the book doesn't grapple with any of the darkness that Roy goes to the trouble of showing us in the first two-thirds. Catharsis is not earned, for the characters or this reader.My biggest problem with this book is this: the author

Well Lori, youre not in Kansas anymore!! I cant believe she is not from Kentucky, the story had the feel of being written by a native who had experienced knowing the characters she depicted in this novelEven though I had trouble keeping the 30s and 50s straight I really liked the book and her writing style. BUT, with all those Mamas and Daddys it washard to remember who was who over a 20 year span.Looking forward to more by this author.

This book was good, and it kept my attention. It was slow to start, and the switching between timelines got annoying, but that was because once you get further into the book, every single chapter ends on a cliffhanger. The ending was slightly predictable, but the characters were enjoyable and felt real.

In 1952 Kentucky the legends say that if a girl between her fifteenth and sixteenth birthday looks down into a well at midnight she will she her future husbands face. It's Annie Holleran's night to do that. She sneaks onto the Baines' property though to stay away from the nosey eyes of the neighbors. She doesn't want anyone finding out what she sees. What she and her sister find though is the body of the Baines matriarch.The rules growing up were that if a Holleran saw a Baines that they would

At the Bouchercon mystery convention this fall, I arrived to hear a panel early and saw, in an empty row, a galley of this novel. I became such an admirer of Roy after reading "Until She Comes Home." I looked around, saw no one, slipped the book in my bag and decided that if anyone came looking for it, I would deny everything! Having read this book, my admiration grows. Roy is an excellent storyteller, and she reaches into the depths with her characters - in this case, a family and townspeople
