Edge of Dark Water
Writing like a modern Mark Twain, Joe Lansdale takes us downriver as a teenage girl desperately tries to outrun—and outwit—a band of dangerous enemies in Edge of Dark Water.
May Lynn was a pretty girl from a mean family who dreamed of becoming a film star. Now she's been murdered, her body dredged up from the Sabine River. Her best friend, Sue Ellen, has a family meaner than May's, and she, too, yearns for a better life. So the least she can do for her friend is take her ashes to Hollywood, where she always longed to be.
But May Lynn's diary holds a secret: the location of a large sum of money. What seems like a stroke of luck has disastrous consequences, and Sue Ellen's escape is about to get more complicated than she ever imagined.

It's okay

This Huck Finn type journey of three young people is amusing and philosophical. The only thing that spoiled my enjoyment is that it is unnecessarily graphically gory. I enjoyed this book, but it is not one I'd reread.
