Waiting for the Night Song, is far more than a mystery and suspense novel. Ī big thank you to Julie Carrick Dalton, Forge Books, and NetGalley for providing an Advance Reader Copy in exchange for this honest review. Unwinding the clues to what really happened “that summer” when Cadie was a kid was quite intriguing, though – with surprising twisty turns – as were the flashbacks to her wild, backcountry youth.įor the book club lovers out there, there is an excellent and easy book club night out suggestion page, including a fabulous Reading Group Guide available from the publisher at. Part coming of age, part mystery, with a heavy dose of environmental action, the various plot lines and elements were a bit distracting to the emotional focus. Reuniting with her childhood best friend Daniela might be more than she can handle however. She’s tried running from the secret she’s kept buried deep for what seems like eternity. A great, atmospheric mystery that tries to do just a little too much.Ĭadie is back in her hometown after many years away – the prototypical prodigal daughter.
