review 1: The Secrets of Newberry opens up in 1955 and readers are immediately introduced to Hampton and Bones in a scene that sets the stage to Bones and Hampton's odd relationship. Victor McGlothin does an excellent job of drawing a picture of that time period in south Louisiana. The town of Newberry is filled with secrets that can easily get a man (or woman) killed. McGlothin is without a doubt an excellent story teller. This has to be his best book to date. If I didn't know beforehand, I would have thought this was a true story instead of a book filled with made up characters. I look forward to reading more books like this by Victor McGlothin.
review 2: The Secrets of Newberry followed the life of Hampton Bynote, a young Black man living in Lousinana in the mid 1950s... more. Hampton meets an unsavory man named Bones who works with him in robbing houses. Soon burgarlary turns into something that Hampton never saw coming. The book could have ended 150 pages before it did. The last 20 chapters were like the story that never ended. The secrets of Newberry were not woven together properly. The extra pages were tacked on to the end to make sure that there was more than one secret in Newberry. The book was okay, but I don't highly recommend it. less
