James Hart, with a tough-as-nails exterior and an aching emptiness inside, does not want to go home. Yet when James receives a postcard from his mother, Birdie Mae, informing him of his father's death, he bites the bullet and returns to the rural and stagnant town of Crystal Springs, Florida, a place where dreams are born to die. James is too late for Orville's funeral, but just in time to become ensnared in the deadly repercussions of his younger brother Rabbit's life of petty crime. When Rabbit is double crossed by his cousin in a robbery-turned-murder, James and a local bartender, the unsettling and alluring Marlena Bell, must come up with a plan to save Rabbit's skin. A whirlwind road trip across the desolate Florida panhandle ensues as James tries to stay one step ahead of the vengeful Alligator Mafia and keep his brother alive. With bullets in the air and the ghosts of heartache, betrayal and unspeakable rage haunting him at every turn, James must decide just how much heis willing to risk to protect his family and find a way home.

The settings were highly detailed in places and yet failed to convey an atmosphere. There were genuinely strong descriptions of places and people but the characters themselves were not as fleshed out as as their attire was. In the moments that I *was* given a chance to get to know them, they felt shallow as if pulled from the pages of a Lifetime Movie.
It's a paint-by-numbers noir set in white trash America. It wasn't terrible at all but the writing felt like a cheerleader who decided to get tough and dressed herself up in black and said "Now I'm goth." It's a all a bit Sandy at the end of Grease.
A Tree Born Crooked never rose above readable for me. What should have taken me a couple of days to read took me over a week because I just didn't really care. I'm not sure how I even found this book. Maybe it was suggested to me after reading something else although I can't imagine what that was. But I did manage to finish it and I'm not kicking myself about it. Hence the 3 star review. ( )
