Awesome read

I loved this book I listened to it in my car as I rode to work and couldn’t wait to get back in my car and head home .

Simple, clear, and moved well. Very entertaining.

Enjoyed the entire book. Narration and story line held my attention. Would recommend this book to others.

good listen

easy to listen. good character. could have explored his early life better. ended somewhat abruptly

A good dad Does a great job of helping averyone he cares about.

Enjoyed the plot…well written. I found the book to hold my interest and still be relaxing. It made me feel good. Ethics and morals were a reflection of what we need to focus on.

Promising but a little Disappointing

I liked the small-town plot but I had problems with plot as initial charge seemed too weak for Police to pursue and the ending could have been OK but was very rushed.
