A noirish crime novel set in rural Arkansas from award-winning author C. B. McKenzie.

Bob Reynolds doesn't recognize the body in the creek, but he does recognize the danger of it. He's a newcomer to town, not entirely welcome and not entirely on good footing with the sheriff. So far he's kept his head down, mostly over the bar at the Crow's Nest. But he has interests other than drinking and spending his inheritance, including one that goes by the name Tammy Fay Smith and who may have caught the sheriff's eye as well.

Bob Reynolds would rather pretend he never saw the body, but when it disappears he begins to doubt what little he knew about this secretive town, one that seems to become more unwelcoming by the day. But he can't just forget the body, despite the advice he's given to do so and despite the evidence to suggest that he might be disappearing along with it.

Following his acclaimed, Edgar-nominated debut, C. B. McKenzie's Burn What Will Burn will appeal to fans of such literary crime authors as Daniel Woodrell, Tom Franklin, Joe R. Lansdale, and Nic Pizzolatto.

Good narration but the story is just eh. But if you need to pass time it will do

Boring

Not the best entertainment for certain. But likely a fairly accurate portrait of the tacky and pitiful populations across the deep South.

Tedious

I still do not know exactly who killed whom, except for Bob killing the sheriff's father. I did not like any of the characters enough to listen again. I may get the Kindle edition for clarification. I greatly enjoyed this author's first book, but am disappointed with this one. I hope he does not use the colostomy bag imagery in his next book.

Slow

This is an author whose future books I am looking forward to!! You won't be disappointed in either.

I've read both C B McKenzie's books

This was not a bad book, but the story was not my style. I agree with another reviewer that this story is more "noir" -- not so much "mystery / thriller". McKenzie is an excellent writer with interesting, quirky characters, and I listened to the end. I will absolutely try out his next book.

My desire when I started this book was a continuation of "Bad Country" which was one of my favorite "thriller whodunnit" books last year. My expectations are not fair to McKenzie, but I loved the main character in his first book, Rodeo Grace Garnet.

The narrator did a great job as I felt I was in Arkansas among a diverse group of characters.
