College student Joe Talbert has the modest goal of completing a writing assignment for an English class. His task is to interview a stranger and write a brief biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe heads to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he meets Carl Iverson, and soon nothing in Joe's life is ever the same. Carl is a dying Vietnam veteran-and a convicted murderer. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder.
As Joe writes about Carl's life, especially Carl's valor in Vietnam, he cannot reconcile the heroism of the soldier with the despicable acts of the convict. Aided by his skeptical neighbor, Lila, Joe throws himself into uncovering the truth. Thread by thread, he begins to unravel the tapestry of Carl's conviction. But as he and Lila dig deeper into the circumstances of the crime, the stakes grow higher. Will Joe discover the truth before it's too late to escape the fallout?

Editorial Review
The plot of The Life We Bury is obviously intriguing. But what brings this character-driven mystery to a new level is the narration by Zach Villa. His voice perfectly conveys the protagonist's mentality with a delivery that exemplifies the 'too-cool-to-care-but-actually-cares-a-little' attitude

However...
The plot itself is kind of sophomoric. I kept thinking of contrived Hardy Boys. I didn't mind the setup. It was good. An old guy dying of cancer being interviewed by a college student for a biography raises questions regarding a murder from 1980. Its just what happens next that is kind of lackluster. The writing carries the day though.
This is a worthwhile read if you like well written genre stories. Too many holes to make it perfect. Too many coincidences to make it a gem. But still worth picking up.
1st class writing. Decent story

Any additional comments?
The main character is a young man who has undergone some rough home life and childhood traumas that continue to plague him as he attempts to get himself through college and on track for a better future. His path is filled with challenges that test his courage, wits, loyalty and love. I found it well worth the time.Almost a page turner.
