The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Aside from Steph and Scarlet (who read the draft), you might be, at least here. I know plenty of folks have bought it, but past that I dunno.

So what did you think??

I've been  meaning to say that I like the progression of Steph from a seemingly out for herself reporter to a caring woman understanding the harsh realities of life but still willing to love.

Yeah, I think Steph matured a lot - I guess she probably would, having survived that fiasco!

Kristus412 - glad you enjoyed it! Grin

Waking another old thread, as I just finished reading the book. Great read - also just left a review.

I didn't like the section about the reproduction of the Kreelans though. After reading IHN, I would have expected artificial insemination.

Will start with Legend later today.

LOL! Well, you'll see a bit more about that in Legend. Beware the Kreelan ESPN sports bar...  Cool
