Jonestown (ePub)

Every resident of Jonestown has a secret. Matt Lowell has several. What really happened to his brother, TJ, at their grandparents' farm? Why has his sister stopped talking to him? And, where's Gene Hackman? Matt hasn't seen him in days.

McDermott can certainly tell a story. The voice suits the tale perfectly. Think Twain, Vonnegut, and Flann O'Brien rolled into a single narrator. This is a don't-miss-it work of art.
-Ron Wallace, author of Renegade, winner of the 2018 Oklahoma Book Award

A tenacious debut. McDermott is a new and exciting voice in modern writing. This is a book worth reading.
-Daragh Fleming, author of If Your Are Reading This Drink Water

A compelling and unique literary talent. This is real storytelling.
-The CQ Magazine

Jone$town hooks you from the start and doesn't let go. The prose is seamless, the plot twists and turns and keeps you guessing. A great read from start to finish reliably told by the most unreliable narrator ever.
-Max, host of Unf*cking the Republic podcast

This wonderfully deceptive thriller builds and builds, and will make you question whether your own values and personal history are really all they seem at certain points. Jone$town is an edgy book of twists and turns, a suburban nightmare, shrouded by perfect exteriors.
-Geneva Pattison, NewsFour

Jone$town is a compelling story told through the eyes of a riveting narrator. A must-read for lovers of true crime and armchair detectives! Impossible to stop reading."
