Review
An Amazon Best Book of May 2017: Despite kicking off with a double murder outside of a remote New York home, Broken River quickly morphs into a much quieter novel, filled with a pervasive, slow-burning tension. A new family moves into the house years later seeking a fresh start, but distance isn’t enough to overcome the baggage and deception they bring along with them. Before long, both the mother and daughter, under pseudonyms on the same internet forum, begin to investigate what happened to the previous occupants, setting into motion a collision between the past and the present. Lennon’s intimate look at these authentic, flawed characters highlights the impact their dishonesty has on themselves and those around them. But it’s the Observer, a disembodied point of view that becomes a character in its own right, which allows the narrative to fully explore the ramifications of each choice, and how beholden we are to our fate. Broken River is an elegant, haunting read with implications that reach far beyond its last page. --Matt Fyffe, The Amazon Book Review
