Overview

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

Moore's] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love." - The New York Times Book Review

This is police procedural and a thriller par excellence, one in which the city of Philadelphia itself is a character (think Boston and Mystic River). But it's also a literary tale narrated by a strong woman with a richly drawn personal life - powerful and genre-defying." - People

A thoughtful, powerful novel by a writer who displays enormous compassion for her characters. Long Bright River is an outstanding crime novel... I absolutely loved it.
--Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Girl on the Train

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.

  • A good book to escape with

    Kimberly B. - 5 years ago

    I thought this book was a great escape. There were a few twists that I didn't see coming. Overall a decent read.

  • Say YES to This Book!

    Krystal G. - 5 years 9 months ago

    If in need of a mental escape or just interested in an entertaining read, check out this one! A present-day story about sibling/familial relationships in the setting of a down-and-out town with a mystery to solve. Incredibly well-written, there's suspense the whole way through. Trigger warning: contains subject matter of addiction/drug use. #summerreading

  • Excellent Book

    Jenny T. - 5 years 10 months ago

    Moore offers an engrossing story of a woman who has persevered through her family’s dysfunction and ignorance to actualizing a life worth living. It’s a psychological thriller, a family saga, and a rescue mission all rolled into one. There’s an hypnotic quality to the book that is very appealing; the main character is complex and interesting and you want to listen very carefully to her story.
