I received this book via Story Cartel to give an honest review.Let me say this, I LOVE murder mystery books! Especially if they can draw me into the story and keep me there even with all the details. With the Short List, I was surprised at how long the book actually was and I was glad that it was long. You have Richard Calder who unfortunately is dying, but he is not going to just die! No he has to make those that did him wrong pay for what they did so they don't do it again. It is like you get inside the mind of serial killer and it is a bit scary. Now the killings are not overly gruesome like some of the actually serial killers are now a days, but it makes you still get the shivers.The plot was wonderful done, you can actually picture Richard on his road trip through towns and staying at motels.The character Richard is done to where you would not forget who he is! Which I think is amazingly done.Parts of the story are Richard's thoughts of life and thinking about what went wrong with the people he trusted so bear with it. There is not a whole lot of action but you get the feel of it in a sense.When you think it is the end of Richard, there is someone who takes his place. And this character you only get a glimpse of. I totally forgot about this character and was surprised that this person came back into the picture which I thought was awesome.If the author can keep writing stories like this one he will have a new fan!
