The Dredge

By: Brendan Flaherty

Narrated by: David Bendena

After some traumatic teenaged years in rural Connecticut, Cale and Ambrose Casey had nothing left to say to each other. Cale ran off to Hawaii to sell luxury real estate. Ambrose stayed behind and built up his construction company. Neither thought they’d be in touch again and were glad for it—until they learned of a real-estate developer’s plan to drain and expand Gibbs Pond.

Nearly thirty years before, the Casey brothers buried a secret in that pond, which fell somewhere between self-defense and family preservation. Lily Rowe, the contractor in charge of the dredging, can also trace her roots—and her trauma—to the banks of Gibbs Pond. After a childhood that saw her and her brother yanked across the country by her abusive father, it was here where she finally stayed put, even if they didn’t.

But as ambitious as Lily is, and as much as she wants answers of her own, her family also has secrets to protect. Now the haunted lives of Cale, Ambrose, and Lily collide once more as they reunite to unearth the devastation of the past.

Sorry

Couldn’t engage with the characters. The author seemed to try to get too much information into every character.

When does the movie come out!

For a first time author Brendan Flaherty’s debut novel was Fantastic. It’s not the usual kinda book I read but I couldn’t stop listening to it, I had to know what was going to happen next! Highly recommend, Greatly looking forward to future story’s, again Fantastic!

Can’t wait for a second book

Heart wrenching story but left me feeling uplifted. Such a talent. The narrator was perfect and I hope to listen to more books read by him.
