“Little Town Blues” by David Gonthier is a captivating, genre-defying story set in the fictional town of Fryebury Falls, New England, during the spring, summer, and fall of 1984.
This intricately woven narrative blends elements of police procedurals, mystery-horror, and ghostly intrigue, creating a one-of-a-kind reading experience.
The story introduces readers to a diverse group of characters, including mild-mannered police chief Mike Melanson, his eccentric wife, the prophetic “Miss Julie,” and a range of quirky townsfolk like the Pearson brothers, a tarnished writer and former coach, and a hard-boiled musician with a rebellious daughter.
At the heart of the novel is a scandal involving the chief of police, but beneath the surface, it’s a deeper exploration of small-town neuroses and dark secrets.
As the story unfolds, Little Town Blues critiques small-town America through the lens of ethics, repression, mental illness, and the pursuit of fleeting fame.
With an eye for detail and character-driven storytelling, Gonthier brings to life a world where events unfold like dominoes, revealing how one moment can easily be overshadowed by the next.
Themes of gender identity, creativity, and the complexities of relationships weave through this haunting tale, offering a rich and thought-provoking narrative. Whether you’re drawn to mystery, horror, or character-driven drama, “Little Town Blues” promises to keep you engaged with its blend of suspense, eerie atmosphere, and compelling commentary on society.
