CAROLINA MOONSET is a stand-alone novel and marks a departure from his previous novels, which is perfect for new fans as well as those who’ve come to love his writing style from his previous works. In this novel, Matt drew from his experience caring for his father who had dementia. I watched Alzheimers take both my great-grandmother and my grandmother and it is a heartbreaking experience.

From the publisher:
Joey Green has returned to Beaufort, South Carolina, with its palmettos and shrimp boats, to look after his ailing father, who is succumbing to dementia, while his overstressed mother takes a break. Marshall Green’s short-term memory has all but evaporated, but, as if in compensation, his oldest memories are more vivid than ever. His mind keeps slipping backwards in time, retreating into long-ago yesterdays of growing up in Beaufort as a boy.
At first this seems like a blessing of sorts, with the past providing a refuge from a shrinking future, but Joey grows increasingly anxious as his father’s hallucinatory arguments with figures from his youth begin to hint at deadly secrets, scandals, and suspicions long buried and forgotten. Resurfacing from decades past are mysteries that still have the power to shatter lives―and change everything Joey thought he knew.
Especially when a new murder brings the police to his door...
