The Line That Held Us

by David Joy

When Darl Moody went hunting after a monster buck he's chased for years, he never expected he'd accidentally shoot a man digging ginseng. Worse yet, he's killed a Brewer, a family notorious for vengeance and violence. With nowhere to turn, Darl calls on the help of the only man he knows will answer, his best friend, Calvin Hooper. But when Dwayne Brewer comes looking for his missing brother and stumbles onto a blood trail leading straight back to Darl and Calvin, a nightmare of revenge rips apart their world.

Reviews

This was a quick read that had an intensive plot, unique characters, and lots of edginess. Some of the dialogue might be gruesome to some, but the overall story was quite a thrill. The way the author weaves moral dilemmas with unforgettable characters is what makes this book stand out. I look forward to reading more of Joy’s work in the future.
