À propos de cet audio
One of Barack Obama's favorite books of the year
Named a Best Book of 2020 By NPR, Parade, Real Simple, and BuzzFeed
An instant New York Times best seller
A Good Morning America Book Club Pick
"[Moore’s] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love." (The New York Times Book Review)
"This is police procedural and a thriller par excellence, one in which the city of Philadelphia itself is a character (think Boston and Mystic River). But it’s also a literary tale narrated by a strong woman with a richly drawn personal life - powerful and genre-defying." (People)
"A thoughtful, powerful novel by a writer who displays enormous compassion for her characters. Long Bright River is an outstanding crime novel.... I absolutely loved it." (Paula Hawkins, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Girl on the Train)
Two sisters travel the same streets, though their lives couldn't be more different. Then one of them goes missing.
In a Philadelphia neighborhood rocked by the opioid crisis, two once-inseparable sisters find themselves at odds. One, Kacey, lives on the streets in the vise of addiction. The other, Mickey, walks those same blocks on her police beat. They don't speak anymore, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling.
Then Kacey disappears, suddenly, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey's district, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit - and her sister - before it's too late.
Alternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters' childhood and adolescence, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: A gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters, addiction, and the formidable ties that persist between place, family, and fate.

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.

Hen and her husband, Lloyd, have settled into a quiet life in a new house outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Hen (short for Henrietta) is an illustrator and works out of a studio nearby and has found the right meds to control her bipolar disorder. Finally, she’s found some stability and peace. But when they meet the neighbors next door, that calm begins to erode as she spots a familiar object displayed on the husband’s office shelf. The sports trophy looks exactly like one that went missing from the home of a young man who was killed two years ago.

It’s a harmless hobby until Kit sees something she can’t unsee in the home of her brand-new clients: a secret so dark it could destroy the privileged couple expecting their first child.

Never grabbed me.
One of the ones with so much hype and yet, never captivated me at any point. Interesting but never gripping.

Long Winding River - a better title
This story meandered along — mostly away from the "whodunit" part. Perhaps I was expecting more of a crime procedural and, when I didn't get that, I was disappointed. I'm always looking for believable characters but found Mickey to do things and believe things that didn't ring true.

Really well rounded story
I enjoyed the story and the characters, the history between the sisters and their experiences unraveled really nicely. Unfortunately I found the performance bland, the tone was almost apathetic or bored, and didn't fully connect for me.

Simplistic happy ending
I thought this story would be about the opioid epidemic but it's really about saviourism and police sex corruption. It was a good listen while doing yardwork and chores. Not as thought-provoking as I'd hoped.
Narrator voice is very pleasant although whoever edited this book for audio did a poor job. Too many 'I said'; 'he said'.

Don't waste your time
Slow, unimaginative, poorly written, full of tropes. The narrator is dull, equally unimaginative, and drones on. Couldn't finish. Don't waste your time and money.

Wow!
That was a painful listen! The narrator was so flat without any sense of emotion or inflection. I’m sure there’s some literary reason that was completely lost on me, but the overuse of ‘says’ and ‘said’ was maddening as well. Too bad, because the story had promise.
