This was my first time to read anything by this author, but I am really glad I found this little jewel! It was a quick read, but well worth every minute.I really enjoyed this short story. As one review I read stated, it packed a lot into such a small space. In just 53 pages (as per the description I read) there was an accident, attempted murder, big time crime in small town America, undercover work, a new family business, budding romance..... What more could you want in 53 pages?What I do not understand is how many people get so upset about the quality of a piece (the characters were not developed, this storyline should have been explored further, etc.) or the length of a piece ('this was just way too short"; "the story hardly got started before it was finished"; "too short...wanted more") when the description of the book TELLS you up front exactly how long it is going to be. Do you really think you are getting a 400 page novel in 53 pages? Hate to tell you this, but it ain't gonna happen! Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. Fifty-three pages is fifty-three pages. Period.And THIS 53 pages is a gem! A GREAT little story packed FULL of action. Well written (without the bazillion editing errors found in so many of these ebooks). Holds your attention from the beginning to the end. Does not wander down side roads that serve no purpose. Just tells you what you need to know to get you where you need to be to make it to the end of the story. Which will be very soon because it IS a SHORT STORY which is what it was advertised to be!But it IS a good one! WELL worth the half hour or hour it will take you to read it!
