About this listen

A "lush nightmare" (Paul Tremblay) of a supernatural thriller about a young woman facing down ancient forces in the depths of the bayou.

Ever since her father was killed when she was just a child, Miranda Crabtree has kept her head down and her eyes up, ferrying contraband for a mad preacher and his declining band of followers to make ends meet and to protect an old witch and a secret child from harm.

But dark forces are at work in the bayou, both human and supernatural, conspiring to disrupt the rhythms of Miranda’s peculiar and precarious life. And when the preacher makes an unthinkable demand, it sets Miranda on a desperate, dangerous path, forcing her to consider what she is willing to sacrifice to keep her loved ones safe.

With the heady mythmaking of Neil Gaiman and the heartrending pacing of Joe Hill, Andy Davidson spins a thrilling tale of love and duty, of loss and discovery. The Boatman's Daughter is a gorgeous, horrifying novel, a journey into the dark corners of human nature, drawing our worst fears and temptations out into the light.

Amazing world, suspenseful, had me wishing for another book!

The main character is a wonderful character, her emotions and decisions seemed very realistic. The world building was absolutely amazing, I found myself wishing I could live in this place, it was like the author was describing my dream place to live. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire last quarter of the book. Very happy, I suspect I will be listening again.

Fantastic

Great story, lush prose and driven characters you care about. The narration is pitch perfect and you’re never quite sure if the good, the bad or the supernatural are going to win. Can’t wait for his next already.

Couldn't follow it

disappointing, so many characters, nicknames etc... that I just struggled to follow. It was really hard to follow as an audio book in the background
