Thomas Edwards has written a real page turner in his first novel, ‘Daughters Drear.’ Edwards weaves the tight tale of an old-fashioned, pipe-smoking, trench-coat wearing San Antonio Tribune reporter covering a story about bloodthirsty assailants.

Edwards’ novel captures the reader by the throat as they can’t wait to see what happens next.
