About this product

Product Information

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.

Reviews
"Liz Moore's Long Bright River is a riveting portrait of so many things--of grief, of sisterhood, of a neighborhood in despair. Moore makes you care about the people that society too often abandons and, in doing so, pulls off a hat trick of epic storytelling that is stigma-busting, love-rendering, and page-turning to the last word." -- Beth Macy, author of Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America . "One of the pleasures of this deeply moving, absolutely page-turning novel is the way Moore, in both the present and in flashbacks to Mickey and Kacey's childhood and teen years, slowly peels back layer after layer, revealing the old-boy's network in the Philadelphia police force, the depths of Mickey's loneliness, and the way the city of Philadelphia, particularly Kensington, is woven into this story, for good or ill. Give this to readers who like character-driven crime novels with a strong sense of place." --Booklist (* starred review) " Long Bright River is a remarkable, profoundly moving novel about the ties that bind and the irrevocable wounds of childhood. It's also a riveting mystery, perfectly paced. I loved every page of it." --Dennis Lehane, New York Times -bestselling author of Since We Fell "A superlative crime novel. Set against the backdrop of Philadelphia's opioid crisis, this is not just a gripping mystery but a thoughtful, powerful novel by a writer who displays enormous compassion for her characters. Long Bright River is an outstanding crime novel, bringing to mind the best of Dennis Lehane or David Simon. I found myself eking out the final pages because I didn't want it to end. I absolutely loved it." --Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times- bestselling author of The Girl on the Train "Both sweeping and unbearably intimate, a riveting crime novel and a character-rich study of a city and its battered heart. And, in the way that Dennis Lehane anatomizes and explores his Boston, or Tana French her Dublin, Moore brings Philadelphia to vivid, wrenching life. Not to be missed." --Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me "Liz Moore's Long Bright River is the perfect literary page-turner. It's a brilliantly plotted crime novel, yes, but it's also a story about the complicated push and pull of family, and how much of our childhood traumas we carry forward through our lives. Anyone with a mother, a father, a brother, or a sister - anyone with a heart, for that matter - will love this book, as I did." --Mary Beth Keane, author of the New York Times -bestselling Ask Again, Yes "Smartly crafted. . .Filled with strong characters and a layered plot, this will please fans of both genre and literary fiction." --Publishers Weekly, "One of the pleasures of this deeply moving, absolutely page-turning novel is the way Moore, in both the present and in flashbacks to Mickey and Kacey's childhood and teen years, slowly peels back layer after layer, revealing the old-boy's network in the Philadelphia police force, the depths of Mickey's loneliness, and the way the city of Philadelphia, particularly Kensington, is woven into this story, for good or ill.

" -Bustle "Thoughtfully explores the power of nature versus nurture, the pull of addiction, and, and the lengths we go to for family." -- Marie Claire "[LONG BRIGHT RIVER is] an exquisite novel that dug its fingers into my heart and has refused to let go...I finished this novel shaken, both by its sheer emotional resonance and also because of how clear and familiar so much of what Moore describes feels to me. -- Medium.com "One of the most buzzed-about books. . . Long Bright River grips you from the outset with its Gothic language and doesn''t let go. [A] character-driven crime novel that''s also a family drama." -- Marie Claire "Electrifying ... In taut, propulsive sentences, Moore draws on the police procedural in conjuring a community on the brink while exploring tensions between two sisters on either side of the thin blue line. . . . Moore navigates assuredly between the plot twists and big reveals. . . . Long Bright River is equal parts literary and thrilling - a compassionate, multidimensional look at an epidemic that surrounds us." --Oprah Magazine "Liz Moore''s Long Bright River is a riveting portrait of so many things--of grief, of sisterhood, of a neighborhood in despair.

  • Seems rather slow in the beginning.

    The protagonist immediately comes across as something of a cold fish. Is this intentional? I haven't read enough to decide yet. She appears to dislike her partner, whom she disdainfully describes as somewhat self-centered and therefore dull-witted. If this is so, then why should she spend so much time talking about him? Who cares? I don't. I haven't delved deeply enough yet to get to the meat of the story, but so far amn't impressed. I am of course biased by the writing style. I love some stories that start out slowly, but they draw me in nonetheless because they are rich in description and color.This story starts out slowly, and I'm praying it will pick up the pace before I fall asleep. My "yes" recommendation is for those who like Moore's style of writing.
