About this listen
At the tail end of 1967, the Parker family once again finds it impossible to hide from a world spinning out of control. Fourteen-year-old Top still can't fit in with their Center Springs, Texas, community, and his near-twin cousin, Pepper, does the only thing she can conceive to escape her own demons: she joins the Flower Children flocking to California - just as three businessmen are murdered in the Red River bottoms on the same night as a deadly hit and run.
Constable Ned Parker wonders if these crimes are connected, but when Pepper disappears, he follows, leaving the investigation in the hands of Sheriff Cody Parker, who hires Deputy Anna Sloan, an investigator with an eye for detail. Following her instincts, she trails killers through a world nearly forgotten, the hunt's backdrop one of continuous rain, gloomy skies, and floods. When an ambush nearly kills her, the investigation accelerates into gunfire, chases, and hair-raising suspense while out on Route 66 to California, a man named Crow isn't what he seems.
Lies, deception, and a band of outlaw motorcyclists prove to the Parkers that no matter where you turn, no matter what you do, the world is full of such darkness that even grandmothers are capable of unspeakable deeds.

Story
In 1964, when Ned Parker, farmer and part-time constable, is summoned to a cornfield one hot morning to examine the remains of a tortured bird dog, he discovers that there is a dark presence in their quiet community of Center Springs, Texas. Ned is usually confident handling moonshiners, drunks, and instances of domestic dispute. But when it comes to animal atrocities—which then turn to murder—the investigation spins beyond his abilities.

Story
Judge. Jury. Executioner. One man is taking the law into his own hands. His targets are the criminals who slipped through the justice system. Dangerous men. Violent men. Depraved, cold-blooded killers. From California to Texas, this relentless avenger hunts down the unpunished and sentences them to death. But now he's on Sonny Hawke's turf. A Texas Ranger committed to his job, Hawke will not abide vigilante justice - even if the targets deserve to die. With each murderous act of vengeance, the hunter becomes more like the vermin he's exterminating.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Cody Hoyt, while a brilliant cop, is an alcoholic struggling with two months of sobriety when his mentor and AA sponsor Hank Winters is found burned to death in a remote mountain cabin. At first it looks like the suicide of a man who's fallen off the wagon, but Cody knows Hank better than that. Sober for fourteen years, Hank took pride in his hard-won sobriety and never hesitated to drop whatever he was doing to talk Cody off a ledge. When Cody takes a closer look at the scene of his friend's death, it becomes apparent that foul play is at hand.

wholesome
I stumbled across the first if this series. Glad I did. Each one has only gotten better.
good, clean old fashioned fun. I really like the way the youngsters are portrayed . . . like normal kids, exploring the world around them. And I truly wish the kids today had half the manners that these two have.

Pepper's Attempt to Join the Hippies
It's 1967, the era of the best music ever, and the onslaught of the drug scene, long hair, bell bottoms, Vietnam and a time of testing everything that had gone before. Pepper's restlessness only intensifies as she gets further into her teen years, and California looks like the promised land to her. Still full of p**s and vinegar, with a mouth like a sailor's, Pepper, looking for a way to escape the one-horse town of Cedar Springs, Texas, finally runs off with Cale Westlake, who had some ill-gotten money in his pocket. It isn't long before the two are in deep trouble, but the stubborn Pepper takes a good while to admit it. With Ned and Pepper's father following and searching for them, the two teens stay one step ahead. Meanwhile back home, Sheriff Cody Parker is left to handle a brutal murder with the help of new Deputy Anna Sloan. This is a wonderful, fast paced, at times funny, tale of family and of both Top and Pepper's coming of age at a time in history that changed America. I've grown to LOVE all these folks, especially Constable Ned and Mrs. Becky Parker, Judge Rains, Cody, Pepper and Top. Excellent series!

The Dark Side of the 60's
Would you consider the audio edition of Dark Places to be better than the print version?
Don't read books anymore. Addicted to audio.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Places?
The horrible ambush of the new deputy.
Have you listened to any of Traber Burns’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
All this series. He is the perfect choice to match the mood and depth of all the characters.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The bridge crossing taking Anna to the hospital.
Any additional comments?
I just listened to all five books over the 4th of July weekend and I would just like to say that the reviewer that linked these books to To Kill A Mockingbird has hit the perfect chord. This is the greatest blend of a coming of age journey as it encounters the terrors of adulthood, especially in a small town from America's past.

Five stars for the fifth of six
I'm heading into the sixth and most recent episode of this series having marathoned my way through after discovering this gem of a series. There are cliff hangers in every one. But that's not why I like them.
I grew up in L.A. but we spent many summers in east TN. with grandparents like Top's in a community like Center Springs. The summer after Kennedy was shot we also went through Dallas to visit a friend of my mom's before driving on to TN. Every place in these stories resonate in me. And when I heard the music of MY hometown while sitting under a tree in that hot humid landscape, I felt very far away indeed from home. Driving Route 66 and across the south during the unpredictable 60's was very strange. You speak true.
Thank you for taking me down that road again.

"Slough"
The authentic old school Texas sayings and slang used throughout the book is awesome. It is the reason I enjoy these books as I'm reminded of my grandparents and their friends. However, the word slough (lowland water area) does not rhyme with plow in Texas. It rhymes with threw or kangaroo.

Weak Series Entry
2.5 stars.
Another scattered story. There is some good character development, but the plot is incoherent. There are elements of realism in that lack a throughline, but the difference between reality and fiction is that fiction needs a throughline.
The weakest in the series so far.
