Joe Boyd thought he'd left big city crime back in Pittsburgh when he took a detective job in Culpepper, Georgia, a sleepy southern college town. His peaceful life ends when two students turn up dead in two weeks. The coroner is saying natural causes, but something doesn't add up.
Rachel Cook, a teaching assistant at Culpepper, can't believe Jack is back in her life again. She's had a crush on him since she was fourteen, but Jack never knew. He instantly seems attracted to her, but she can tell...something is deeply troubling him.
Watching all this from a distance is Nigel Avery. He's certain this experiment's about to unravel. It'll be his job to tie up all the loose ends when it does.
My Thoughts:
While this book does deviate from Dan Walsh's "typical" style, it's still an amazing read. When I first started reading the book and got to the first "flash back" I thought I was reading a time travel book and found myself thinking, I'm not sure I'm going to like this book, but I was quickly proven wrong. Without sharing any spoilers I was very happy with the mystery novel this turned out to be. This novel reminded me of the medical mystery book series by Richard Mabry but without all the medical jargon. I also appreciated that this novel was without the mushy gushy predictable romance which I find way too often in "Christian fiction" novels. It had a little romance, but it never made me think, oh gag! It was a page turner and I could have easily finished it in a day if I didn't have other things to tend to like....kids :-P. I'm still a huge fan of Dan Walsh's novels.
Look for this book to come out November 1st 2014, or pre-order the Kindle version HERE!
Many thanks to Dan Walsh for an early copy of this book for review. All opinions expressed here are 100% my own!
