The River: A Novel
by Peter Heller
☆ Shortlisted for the 2020 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
It’s true that The River: A Novel by Peter Heller has been nominated for an Edgar, but it probably should not be classified primarily as a mystery or thriller. What it’s mainly about is two young men going canoeing in Canada and their relationship. That combination of the great outdoors, two men, as well as the writing, makes it slightly reminiscent of Brokeback Mountain (without the sex).
