Anyone who lived through the integration of the South will understand the basis for this novel. The prologue, a testament of man’s inhumanity to man, will leave you nauseated. The remainder of Blue Heron Marsh happens some forty years later.

Set in the beautiful Albemarle Sound, Outer Banks, and Elizabeth City in North Carolina, the story slowly unravels around the protagonist, Webb Sawyer, who has serious issues. Side plots aside, the novel is about several murders, all frighteningly similar, that happen to the white students who made us so nausetaed in the first chapter.

Webb sets out with Amanda Eure to solve these murders and clear her girlfriend, Clara, who is accused of one of these crimes. But, are things really like they seem? Who exactly murdered all of these men?

Interspersed with life according to Webb Sawyer, the novel alternately gains momentum and then slows down to a typical meandering Southern lifestyle with fishing trips, failing relationships, and lots of colorful intense characters. This is a book well worth reading, if only to get a true feel for what life is like in the Southern half of the United States.
