The bestselling, National Book Award-finalist novel that inspired Charles Laughton's expressionist horror classic starring Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters.
Two young children, Pearl and John Harper, are being raised alone by their mother in Cresap's Landing, Ohio. Their father Ben has just been executed for killing two men in the course of an armed robbery. Ben never told anyone where he hid the ten thousand dollars he stole; not his widow Willa, not his lawyer, nor his cell-mate Henry "Preacher" Powell. But Preacher, with his long history of charming his way into widows' hearts and lives, has an inkling that Ben's money could be within his reach. As soon as he is free, Preacher makes his way up the river to visit the Harper family where-he hopes-a little child shall lead him to the fortune that he seeks.
Foreword by JULIA KELLER

It took a while for me to really get into the story, the first chapters being more slow-paced but still entertaining to read with the old-timey South American slang. The characters in the book appeared three-dimensional to me immediately and I felt like hearing famous actors’ voices in my head when reading the dialogues.
As soon as the real action starts, the book is hard to put down! I was holding my breath during some of the paragraphs and bent forward to make a character run faster!
The little girl Pearl though is a little bit overly annoying sometimes (in my opinion), as well as Willa. For some time I wasn’t happy with the way women were represented in the book because of that but I guess that’s because the story is old, … and Rachel did help me to feel much better about the women in the book in the end.
I especially really liked the ending of the book :D (but I won’t spoil it)
