Editorial Reviews

Review

"The novel opens with a prologue depicting the final hours of Dale's trial in a seemingly corrupt courtroom with an arrogant sheriff and a gun-toting judge, combined with an inexperienced court-appointed lawyer and a gallery that's clearly out for Dale's blood. The scene resonates with the reader, leaving the distinct impression that Dale did not receive a fair and impartial trial. The reader's sympathies are tested from the beginning, though, by Dale's recklessly irresponsible choices and behavior - indeed, at times he appears to be his own worst enemy." -- Tamara D. Blackwell, Mississippi Library Association

I can't believe I've never read anything by Carl Purdon! I ran across this book by accident and bought it based on the description and ratings and I'm so glad I did! This is as good as it gets folks! I don't have the words to describe how much I loved this book. I can't wait to read his other books! What a magnificent storyteller he is ! I'm just sorry it took me this long to discover this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Read!

Wow! I loved this book. I liked the real feel of the characters and the twist and turns of their lives. I liked that every time I thought I knew what was about to happen I was wrong. And every time I thought I knew who the killer was I was wrong. I have read Carl's The Night Train and Norton Road and his books just get better and better. In my opinion Carl Purdon is going to be right on up there with Dee Henderson, Lynette Eason and Terri Blackstock in a very short time. I can hardly wait for his next book!

This book demands continued reading. Made me lose plenty sleep because just when I wanted to put it down, had to search another chapter. Thanks for the ride.

Carl's books just keep getting better. I really liked his first two and he hasn't disappointed with his latest. The characters are very real and the suspense keeps you wanting to read without putting the book down. I recommend everyone read this and all of his novels.

I really enjoyed this book. Not so much a gripping suspense, but more like a good tale of finding yourself despite the life you have to live. I have not read Purdon's previously released novels, but I plan to go back and catch those.

I liked the story of redemption for both Dale and Jill, although I didn't care as much about the end of the storyline involving Trap and his wife. Not to give away the ending, but there is no way in heaven or hell I would have allowed her back in my house after everything she had done.
