The Depth of the Water

The Redemption of Howard Marsh 2 (The Jubal County Saga)

By: Bob McGough

Narrated by: John Solo

Howard Marsh returns for yet another round of backwoods magical mayhem! In this pair of tales our white trash spellslinger is once more caught up in the small-town mysteries of Alabama’s lost county. All manner of occult strangeness is coming his way, and as usual he isn’t ready for it.

In ‘The Depth of the Water’ everyone’s favorite redneck wizard is on the trail of a missing young woman who went hunting a God. Did she find what she was looking for? Or did she stumble into some other horror of the deep woods? What eldritch being lurks in the deep water, waiting to barter for Marsh’s very soul?

In ‘September Doves’ Marsh is called upon to try and save the life of a child who is being tormented by a magical entity that no one can identify. Just what is a Flicker Dog? Why has it been tormenting the Durrant family for generations? And just what connection from Howard’s past will come to haunt him?

Marsh is once more on the case and just as unwilling as ever!

(Warning: This book contains much cursing and foul language, as befits a tale told by a drug addled white trash wizard.)

That ending fits the MC perfectly

I really enjoy the detective nature of these books. it's quite literally Dresden meets a southern setting that I feel really engrossed in, which is doubly effective since I listen whilst driving down the roads of a similar country town. I'm honestly finding it hard not to wait for more credits and just get the next book immediately just like I did with this entry!

Another Banger of a Tale

Another wild ride with Howard Marsh, and the momentum just grows. I am an audiobook person, so I waited to read more Howard Marsh until this came out, and the audiobook was just as stellar as the first.

READ REDNECK METH WIZARD BOOKS! (as the sticker says)

Another outstanding listen/read!

Once again, Bob writes another fantastic entry in this series, and the narrator continues to do an amazing job voicing the story. Howard Marsh is such a great protagonist and I can never put the book down once I start reading

Very Addictive! Fiending for more!

After powering through the first and second audiobooks, this one has left me fiending for more.

Howard Marsh, being someone very relatable who never quite fit into the small town he was born into, is a very enthralling character. His non-typical way of handling issues (or not handling issues, as it were) brings me in, wanting more. I love how descriptive the author is painting a picture of the world that he lives in, it seems very fantastical but very nostalgic at the same time.

The foes he has to deal with, while not being "world class threats" by any means, are still something that have to be handled, and Howard Marsh is the only man in town with the know-how to do it.

Cant wait for the 3rd audiobook!!

love it

there isn't anything about this book that I didn't like. I especially love the main character/hero isn't perfect.
