Blackwater Lake

I was surprised by this short piece of work, I didn't think it would end the way would, and I enjoyed the various twist's and turns.

Maggie James had me feeling for the characters, Matt the son who was embarrassed by his mothers hoarding, Evie who had a problem throwing things away, soft spoken Joe who just wanted to care for his wife and son. People joke around and say they are hoarders but Evie was truly a hoarder. She kept all kinds of things in her house for the last 30 something years. I liked how Matt was able to see a different side of his parents while going through boxes of books, papers, and other things he discovered.

This was a quick read that I read during my lunch break, the pace was fast, and the plot kept me turning the page.

Nice quick easy read for my lunch breaks. Might look to read some more from this author.
