Critic reviews

"The characters are so real and the situations so well written that readers will have a hard time putting this book down." (RT Book Reviews)

pretty good on the emotions

especially the anger I felt toward the parents and the sadness for Kathie Sue and Jamie Lynn

Wow

Wow this book just drew me in and wouldn't let go! Love the southern narrator, the small town and the suspect the author kept me in.

good story building

enjoyed the mystery. I appreciate the way that Blake builds up the story and then gets to the mystery. it's a nice change from the opening murder plot.

Very Good

I enjoyed this book. There were several twists and turns in this book that I did not expect. It was a quick read. I will listen to the next book.

Amazing!

I can’t say enough… I’m actually a little speechless. This was a perfect blend of mystery, romance, and humor. For once I didn’t get the culprit or the details right away. ….just so good!
