Review: A great first novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

Amazon has exposed me to many newer authors, and likewise many new authors to a vast network of  compulsive and voracious readers. This book is clearly a novel that Mr Hill put a lot of sweat, tears and yes, noting the title, blood into its genesis. He does a decent job of  character developments for the Lincoln's, the antagonist and the police. I did not think the lead investigator should have been hitting on the mother of one of the missing people while she was so vulnerable. The bad guy is revealed early to only the reader and makes us want to shout it out to the authorities who kept coming so close. I stayed up way too late reading as the book moved along. It was good entertainment and I suspect the writer's style will sharpen and focus over time. It has some areas of verbosity but not every page can be a barn burner (a barn does figure into the story!)  Look forward to more from Mr Hill. Glad he became a writer in his later career and wish him well and further success.
