Little Wolves Audiobook

" A great read! This one is going to linger a few days. "

" This book was hard to put down, but the ending seemed a little predictable. I really enjoyed the story and especially the writing. The author does a great job of bringing the area to life. I was especially happy with the farm descriptions. Very realistic. Thank you for not romanticising rural farm work! "

" Clara and Logan move to northern Minnesota where he will take over the local Lutheran church, his first assignment as a new pastor. Grizz has lived in the little town his whole life, not happily. The three become entangled in the discovery of the secrets of the town when Clara becomes the teacher of Grizz's son, Seth, and Seth kills the town's sheriff and then commits suicide. "

" Surprisingly good book with a real gothic feel. Small town tragedy strikes when a young man kills the local sheriff. The preacher's wife is hiding a secret... and searching for her past. Definitely worth the read. "

" Chosen to read an Advance Uncopyedited Edition of this book there is a good story at the true heart. Loosely based upon two actual events around the town of Morgan Minnesota. The story with characters that are very well developed, allow, the reader to emotionally bond is a strong point of the book. While I knew the characters, I felt I was missing more of the details in the plot. The involvement of a small town, a teacher, and an outcast who was bullied, may have been just a little too quick to read after the tragedy in Newtown. "

" I loved this book! It's rare that I pick up a book at the library or bookstore having done no prior research. I am so happy something led me to this one. I can't wait to read his other work "Nightbirds." "

" I really wanted to love this book. Set in a small Minnesota prairie town in the late 1980s, various characters desperately try to hold their lives together in the face of tragedy. Well written, but couldn't suspend my disbelief enough to accept the ending. "

" Haunting, intense, a mixture of folklore and violence in small town America. Well written, a page turner. "

" B. the plot was interested but disjointed, and only seemed to come together in the final chapters. the characters were just on the verge of being compelling. the prose was sometimes beautiful. "

" Lyrical writing but convoluted plot that went completely OTT. Pity. "

" A little flawed (resolution rushed!) but I enjoyed reading this one. "

" Even though I have a couple of nagging criticisms, I'm going to give up a 5-star review on this book. I just really like Thomas Maltman (Nightbirds was one of my favorite reads the year it was published) and his rendering of place and human complexity. "

" In the backwater of the Bible belt of USA, a murder mystery unfolds. A twisted family chronicle laced with the local folklore delivers a good read. "

" Maltman can write. A delightful and descriptive wordsmith. Refreshing to get away from the formula driven pop writers today. "

" A murder mystery/magical realism crossover with an interesting female central character. Well written, though it has a few minor structural problems that caused me to occasionally wonder where we were in the story. On the whole, immensely enjoyable for anyone willing to suspend disbelief. "

" A promising story that didn't stand up to the potential I thought it held based on the first few chapters. I looked forward to the last page. Boring read. "

" Beautifully written, suspenseful; weaves the story and language of Beowulf into a murder mystery. Loved it. "

" Different take on small town Minnesota crime story. Some characters very well drawn, some not so much. Definitely worth the time to read. "

" never would have thought how the story was going to end and it ended with quite the climatic scene. very good book:) "

" A dark story. "

" Beautiful prose, intriguing characters, a simmering undercurrent of mystery, violence, and small town secrets. In a word: chilling. "

" i loved this book - this was so much more than a murder/mystery. The characters were all true to life and liked all the references to Beowulf. Could not put it down!Very dark, cold Minnesota small town. "
