Review – River Bodies by Karen Katchur

(Note: I just realized I hadn’t finished this review. When I saw the date of the draft, I knew why. It was shortly after I began this review that my life changed following a frightening, horrible motor vehicle accident. However, more than five years later, I’m happy to get on with it–the review, I mean. After a long recovery, I did get on with my life, and am quite thankful I was able to.)

Today I finished reading Karen’s third book, River Bodies. This morning, as a matter of fact, when I should have been attending to so many other things.

The author sets many of her books (I think perhaps all?) in Pennsylvania, and it is clear she knows the area well. She also knows her characters equally as well, and pens a story rich in raw emotion and mystery.

I had a wonderful afternoon interviewing crime thriller author, Karen Katchur, and am posting a YouTube link to her interview below. I originally interviewed her on my blog back when her first book came out in 2015. Enjoy!

Karen is the author of two women’s fiction/mysteries set in the Pocono area, The Secrets of Lake Road and The Sisters of Blue Mountain. Her crime thriller series set in Northampton County consist of River Bodies, Cold Woods and Spring Girls. Her most recent, and somewhat darker novel (complete with some very dark humor) is entitled The Greedy Three, which is her personal favorite.

Here is the blog interview from 2015 with Karen Katchur.
