Watering Weeds

By: J. Calvin Harwood

Narrated by: Courtney Patterson

Nervy Corvus had escaped the dark underbelly of Missouri’s meth world years ago. But when her husband, a well-established psychiatrist, dies unexpectedly, she finds herself widowed, and in danger.

Her husband’s casket barely in the ground, a slew of killers, tweakers, lawyers, and judges converge on Nervy. Each one has their own reasons to ensnare, exploit, or even kill her, but she’s not going down without a fight. Desperate, cunning, and shameless, Nervy is willing to barter herself, her husband’s reputation, and an entire community’s psychiatric records to get her revenge.

Emerging from a small-town setting comes an oversized story of tragedy, vulnerability, and finding the strength to go on. Watering Weeds provides a gripping view of entrenched corruption and brutality, and one woman’s refusal to succumb to the dark forces surrounding her.

We loved it!

I started listening to this book and when listening in the car with my wife, she asked me to start it over so that she could listen to the story from the beginning. This slowed me down a little, but we both really enjoyed the book. The story was riveting, the characters were complicated and we enjoyed getting to know them better as the book progressed. The plot was unpredictable, but not overly complex, captivating, enjoyable and at times whimsical. We highly recommend this book!
