1 post | 4 read | 2 to read
2015 Anthony Award Nominee for Best Mystery Novel In a frigid New Hampshire winter, Jay Porter is trying to eke out a living and maintain some semblance of a relationship with his former girlfriend and their two-year-old son. When he receives an urgent call that Chris, his drug-addicted brother, is being questioned by the sheriff about his missing junkie business partner, Jay feels obliged to come to his rescue. After Jay negotiates his brother's release from the county jail, Chris disappears into the night. As Jay begins to search for him, he is plunged into a cauldron of ugly lies and long-kept secrets that could tear apart his small hometown and threaten the lives of Jay and all those he holds dear. Powerful forces come into play that will stop at nothing until Chris is dead and the information he harbors is destroyed.

I got this as a Kindle deal a while back (it's still $2.99 - worth it!) and, trying to fill a little gap in my reading this week, decided to give it a go. I really liked it! Literary stunner? Nope. Edge-of-your-seat tension? Not really. But it was effortlessly readable, the story flowed really well, and I feel like I know well (and like!) the main character...although I'd love to see him quit smoking! Quick read, will read more by this author.
