A taut, propulsive family drama steeped in mystery, menace and a long-buried secret from award-winning author Kevin Hardcastle.
It has been years since Mara O’Hare has come home to North Simcoe County. But she is forced to return after her father’s death. Arthur O’Hare—the meanest, most vicious man in the townships—laid low, isolated, angry and sullen before he took his own life.
Mara is reunited with her two sisters, Beth and Emma. Soon, the three women are fighting to retain ownership of their home, a farm they have inherited from their father. But Arthur O’Hare’s legacy is not just land. He has also left his daughters an unanticipated inheritance of violence and terror, born out of a long-buried family secret.
Award-winning author Kevin Hardcastle has written a tough, compelling and thrilling novel that lays bare the best and worst of human nature and examines the muddy places in between. County Road Six is an unforgettable family saga about gender and class, rural communities, fathers and daughters, and what we leave behind.
Flop
"I have absolutely no clue how this book got published. I got 55 pages in and had to give up. This is such a poorly written novel. The sentence structure is atrocious, which makes reading difficult. The characters lack interest and depth, and the plot twist was predictable as hell. I had to just skip to the end so I can put this book in the donation pile. Sorry Mr. Hardcastle, your writing style is just not for me"
