Graveyard Fields

By: Steven Tingle

Narrated by: Matt Godfrey

Davis Reed is plagued by the three A's: anger, alcohol, and anxiety. A former Charleston police officer turned private detective, Davis hopes to gain some respect, self and otherwise, by writing a book. His subject? The true story of a B-25 bomber that crashed on Cold Mountain in western North Carolina just after the end of World War II.

From the comfort of a mountain cabin in Cruso, North Carolina, Davis spends his days popping anti-anxiety pills, drinking copious amounts of home-brewed beer, and not writing. But when he discovers a set of keys on a mountain trail, he becomes curious and then obsessed with finding the rightful owner. With the help of his friend Dale Johnson, a 275-pound local deputy who is full-time ornery and part-time clever, and Dale's cousin Floppy, a motor-mouthed mechanic with a penchant for conspiracy theories and kleptomania, Davis works to uncover the mystery of the keys while navigating a world of small-town secrets, shady characters, '80s heavy metal, and murder.

But Davis has his own secrets, and even though he's escaped to the mountains, some bad business in Charleston is beginning to catch up with him. For an anxiety-riddled man looking for peace and quiet, he somehow stumbles into more chaos and crossfire than any amount of beer and pills can alleviate.

Excellent 1st novel

Easy read with flowing dialog. Good story line that keeps you interested. I recommend this book.

Small towns

This book took me back to my childhood in small town Morocco, Indiana. I just loved this book it had me laughing and smiling from beginning to end. The characters were wonderful. This book perfectly depicted small town life where everyone knows everyone or is related to them. Well written and narrated a must read if you grew up in a small town or just like to laugh a lot. I really enjoyed the narrator he did a excellent job.

Fast read!

Funny with a twisted mystery that makes you want to listen until you’ve reach the end.

Great Read

I would recommend to my friends!! Loved that I knew the places the author described. Interesting twists and turns in this book!

Only gave it 5 stars because I couldn’t award 6!

I have listened to or read 90 books this year as of August, and this book is definitely in the top 3! It’s a book written by a guy primarily for guys. The character development is truly incredible, and the author is able to make a pill popping, anxiety ridden, slacker with anger management issues and zero Facebook friends a truly likable person. The book has great supporting characters, an inspiring setting, and lots of interesting twists and turns. The narrator is terrific, and the story gripped me from the beginning and I loved every minute of it!
