Ravens in the Graveyard

By S. L. Matthews

A senseless murder, a gullible cowboy, and one unusual witness.
 

     Born with a simple mind and left without family, Bosal Moon grew up under the shadow of ridicule and loneliness. Now he must escape the only home he has ever known: Dozen, the dust-laden town morality had deserted long ago. Bosal leans on his sole friend for wisdom: Preacher August Maloney.

     Each day, August tends to the ravens that flock to the graveyard outside his lonesome little church. Harbingers of wayward souls, he calls them. But the most wayward soul of all belongs to the Professional Butterfly, a ravishing woman with a talent for bleeding men of their integrity. Bored and broke, the Butterfly turns her attention on August and hatches a brilliant scheme to deliver him from a disaster of biblical proportions. But her risky actions result in a shocking and untimely death. All fingers point to the Butterfly as the murderer. Only one witness remains, and he isn't talking. 

     Will Bosal be able to save the Professional Butterfly from the noose? Or will the callous judge get his way and hang one more wayward soul?

Reviews for Ravens in the Graveyard

[Queen Of The Dead · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I bought this book about a week and a half ago, and I am so glad that I did. It is one of the most well written books I have read in a long time. Very consistent in the context and doesn’t bounce around between points of view and settings. It has a constant flow that is very easy to follow. I feel like the author did an amazing job on capturing the intelligent aspect of Ravens. It is just over all an amazing book and if I could give it a 10 star rating I would. I highly recommend reading this book. It will definitely be worth your time.
