The Trees

The Trees by Percival Everett plunges you into a Mississippi murder mystery that's part Southern gothic, part supernatural thriller, and all-around brilliant. Imagine if a detective novel had a baby with a ghost story and that baby had a penchant for satirical humorthis is it. Blending vengeance with justice, humor with horror, and entertainment with enlightenment, it's a spine-tingling reminder that history sometimes likes to play ghosts.
