A Longer Fall

 

A Longer Fall by Charlaine Harris, 291 pages.

After the dramatic events of An Easy Death Lizbeth Rose has signed up with a new gun crew for what she hopes is a pretty straightforward job guarding a crate into the neighboring nation of Dixie. Unfortunately, no such luck. A disaster leaves Lizbeth stuck in Dixie, whose conservative norms make it the last place she wants to be, trying to track down her cargo again. When Eli shows up she can't decide if it is a good sign or bad, she is happy to see him again despite herself, but it's also obvious he is hiding things from her. 

This was a fun book, quick and easy to read. I'm enjoying seeing a little more of this post-fractured United States setting. I do think that the plot was weaker in this book than the first one, and the pacing of the climax was a little strange, but I still enjoyed it. I actually listened to the GraphicAudio version of this audiobook on Hoopla, which made it even easier to consume, and I found myself sucked in. I expect to be listening to more of this series soon.
