Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 20, 2012
The Midwest countryside is supposed to be a nice, quiet place to retire. A good place to enjoy the golden years and spend time fishing, working on hobbies, maybe even start a second career or cottage industry. Buying a nice, easy to care for, home on a few acre's can seem like a great way to live out the end days of our lives. Away from the crime and troubles of the cities. Aaron Coleman thought so.But the idyllic life along a mid-west river can be an illusion and for Aaron trouble is everywhere. It starts with the loss of his wife only a year into his retirement. As he slowly re-builds his life, finding new goals and new hobbies, his life is again shattered. This time by a drug handy-man and the river he loves.A good fast-paced thriller, River Rising kept me turning the pages. I enjoyed the story, the characters were well written and fully developed and the premise was interesting and believable. I will put this author on my TBR list and look forward to more offerings from Mr. Kearney.Karen Bryant Doering
