Wanda Morris’s Anywhere You Run is one of the latest successes to come from 2022. The book focuses on the game of cat and mouse that falls under the umbrella of the crime genre. The book is labeled a crime thriller, yet there isn’t an element of suspense that’s typically expected for a thriller. The novel is divided into two parts, and the chapters switch between three different points of view, Marigold, Violet, and Mercer, which is a layout I really enjoyed reading. Some themes of the novel may be hard to read and are better suited for ages 13+.
The book is set in a medium-sized town in Mississippi in the summer of 1964. The South is still holding onto Jim Crow Laws as two black sisters, Marigold and Violet, are finding themselves on very different paths in life.
