Acerca de esta escucha

Mysterious, chilling, and told a breakneck pace, The Scamp will thrill readers of Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone and Roxane Gay's An Untamed State.

Rayelle Reed can't escape in her small town, where everyone knows everything and not enough: all the guys she slept with, but not the ones she loved. The baby she had out of wedlock with the pastor's son, and how the baby died, but not the grief and guilt that consume her.

At a motel bar, Rayelle meets Couper Gale, a freelance detective on a mission to investigate a rash of missing girls, and she tags along as an excuse to cross the state line. But when Couper's investigation leads them to the mystery surrounding Rayelle's runaway cousin Khaki, she finds she is heading straight back into everything she was hoping to leave behind. As fates become entwined, Rayelle must follow a haunted and twisted path - leading her toward a collision where loyalties will be betrayed, memories uncovered, and family bonds shattered.

Unflinchingly dark and compelling, The Scamp confronts head-on the issues of family origins and the bonds between mothers, daughters, and sisters. It delves deep into the cycle of abuse and poverty, questioning, in the end, the value of any one life, child or adult. In Pashley's hands, the lost girls of rural and industrial America, trapped in the unforgiving systems of government assistance and single parenthood, are portrayed with depth and nuance. She exposes the ingrained poverty and atmosphere of disillusionment that damns them before they have a chance and she gives them a ray of hope for a better life ahead.

Hauntingly captivating story

This story began very slowly and seemed to repeat itself, however when I continued to listen I became captivated by the Raylenes story and her relationship with Khaki. The conclusion was predicted but the ending was a surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel

10.5 hours I'll never get back!

I tried to like this book. Kept pretest based on other listeners reviews. So sorry I tried...
It had moments of potential, where it could have gone deeper, or finally gotten interesting... but then nothing... not even with it for free!

waste of time and brain power

What a waste of time!!
this book had no actual plot, no actual story to tell... just went around and around, dancing around a couple of potential plot lines without delving into any of them. oh, and then it was weirdly and disturbingly FULL of sexual assault depictions involving minors. every 10 minutes it was going back into some vulgar, awful scene or saying something sickening which was completely irrelevant and went nowhere.
I feel like Audible should be not only giving this book away, but providing monetary compensation for subjecting readers to this steaming pile of trash!
