An Inconvenient Death

Lieutenant Joe Boyd takes his family on a much-needed camping trip in the beautiful lakefront woods outside of town. But a leisurely trail walk with Chance, their new dog, goes haywire when he breaks loose. When they finally reach him, he’s digging furiously. What the dog finds, turns their vacation upside down and launches Joe and his partner into a puzzling cold case homicide from the late 1980s. As they begin to unravel the evidence—aided by two women from a local writer’s group—things point to an unlikely set of culprits. Their identities—if known—would shock the entire town. Some people will do anything to keep a thirty-year-old secret from seeing the light of day.

An author to follow:

Interesting plot ideas (unique but relatable) and clearly defined characters (minimal confusion with identity, name, gender). Interwoven with exploration of Christian values (within story as a whole and through characters development.) Advise to further develop "reversal of fortune" structural element and address much earlier in storyline. Author's inclusion of Christian principles works best when showing how characters grapple with and apply Christian values in their lives -- show versus tell.

Another Great Book

Very pleased with Dan Walsh and his books. I would recommend them to anyone and I'll be starting on his next book as soon as I finish this review.

How I envy writers😊

Loved the play on words in title and story.
The references to Christ and handling of attitudes.
Being able to read a good story without the shock of curse words and using Gods name in vain.
Thank you

Valuable side thoughts & Intrigue

The story was well constructed, without relying on sensationalism. Definitely worth your mystery reading time.
