CHAPTER 1

Dead bodies have a way of changing everything.

Sergeant Joe Boyd drove his unmarked car down Chambers Road toward a possible homicide. He’d heard the officer on site reporting over the radio, his voice all jittery and pathetic. Sounded like he’d completely lost it, talking about throwing up and never seeing anything like it. Have a little dignity, Boyd thought. It was a Saturday morning. Figures it would be a Saturday, the one day in the week Boyd got to sleep in. At this point in his career, he wasn’t sure if he wanted to deal with a murder or not.

Two months ago, he had been a homicide detective in the relentless, suffocating pace of Zone Five, arguably the toughest precinct in the Pittsburgh PD. He had worked there since coming out of the academy sixteen years ago and didn’t relish the idea of leaving all that excitement to move down here to neighborly little Culpepper, Georgia.

But it was either that or his family. I’m out of here, Kate had said. It’s them or me. Take your pick.

Kate had fallen in love with the town their first drive through. Boyd had to agree, Culpepper seemed like a better place to raise a family, a town the bad guys hadn’t found yet. Since moving, he had been home for dinner more often than not. Started showing up at his son’s Little League games; that was a first. At least three or four nights a week, his daughter could count on daddy reading her a bedtime story. He even made it to church most Sundays.

And now this.

Creepy, Very Creepy Story

First of all, it’s unbelievable that this story is listed as “Christian” fiction. Nothing Christian about this book.. except that the author is a retired preacher turned writer. So, basically the same “game”. As to the story, a truly bizarre premise. Interesting main characters. Liked Jack and the girl and the Sargent. And this particular male virtual narrator perfectly fit the Sargent. By no means a cozy whodunit. Rating it as a 4 for the “nice” characters.. some of whom appear later I think. Otherwise, just bizarre.

Originality

Great story but virtual voice leaves a lot to be desired. I look forward to other books from this author.

Interesting

This story had an interesting plot but the virtual voice isn’t as interesting nor entertaining to listen to. I like the Author’s style, so I’ll look for another title of his and read it instead of listening.
