Only the Truth Reviews

3.5
“This is a short southern gothic novel, perhaps a novella, with a court case at its centre with the feel of a 1970s/80s setting in Arkansas. One day an uneducated man who lives alone in the hills finds a young woman with a small suitcase simply standing, and looking far off, at the empty train station. He takes her home with him and they live a sublime life together for two years until a man moves into a nearby home. It isn't long then until Charlene is behind bars facing capital punishment. This was a random pick from my Kindle and I'm glad I read this little gem. The character of Billie Ray Hutchins is so endearing that I'm sorry my time with him was so short. Much heartache is found in this psychological mystery, but I did see the ending coming about halfway through. That didn't stop my enjoyment of this recommended southern fiction, though.”
