The Gates of Evangeline by Hester Young, 2015
This was cool.
It's a swampy mystery situated on the bayou and centered around the freshly uprooted secrets and crimes of a prominent Louisiana family. A journalist is dispatched to their manor after the long since abandoned subject of a missing son is brought back to light.
Here and there it slips into slight chill territory but the magic lies within the meticulously woven dilemma at hand. Close to the end there's plot twists coming at you left and right and red herrings like a mother****er.
3.5/5
