Based on a true story, Return to Burke County: Love, Loss, Politics, and Murder… by R. E. Lewis is based on a true story of an accidental death deep in the post-Civil War Appalachian Mountains. Roby Martin, a hard working, responsible husband determined to protect his wife finds himself in a predicament following the murder of Cal Porter. The murder trial quickly captures the South’s attention as the moral’s and guilt Roby Martin are called into question. It is a page turning novel that will keep you engaged.
While the novel, plots, and characters are fantastic, the writing is also wonderful. It is enjoyable to read and the pacing makes this book a really quick read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was constantly waiting to see what would happen next. The pictures that the author included were also fantastic. His imagery is already fantastic but adding the pictures really makes the setting come to life. If you like history, crime cases, or books set in the south, this is a great book! $1.99 on Kindle.
