CHRISTOPHER

by James Huber, Rose L Johnsont (Editor)

2017 Award Finalist International Book AwardChristopher is a romantic action story told from the point of view of a reporter. Christopher is a chauffeur who is somewhat disappointed with his life. He has worked for the same family for almost half a century and is seriously thinking about retiring. Then a man appears on the scene; a man who was once involved with the boss’s daughter and if there is one thing the boss is sure of, it is that he doesn’t want this man anywhere near his daughter again. So, his assistant, Thomas, gets the job done with the help of a couple of shady characters but, at the same time, he is looking out for number one. When the boss goes down for another crime, Thomas sets about destroying the whole family, especially his old nemesis, the chauffeur. There are plenty of questions to be asked and only two people know the answers – Christopher is one, but who is the other?Christopher is a fascinating read. The way it was written from a third person point of view made it very easy for me to fall into it. It was almost like “Story time”, settling down to listen to a story and I found it very easy to follow it and to get involved. This book hooked me from page one and kept me reading all the way through. There was a lot going on in the story, plenty of action and plenty of emotion as well. The story was an interesting one, something a little bit unique and the characters were exceptionally well developed.This is an award winning Southern Adventure and Mystery novel of the year.Available on AMAZON

Reviews

[Mick Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good clean novel of intrigue, business and family matters. The protagonist is hard to be beat. He is "only" a chauffer, but acts as much more. Think about Sabrina. This is better.

[James Huber · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best action, love, treachery, loyalty, business and crime and punishment to come out lately. Not Hallmark Hall of Fame material, but not children's play either. Christopher spans 50 years in one man's life that he shared with only a few close friends. Secrets are deep and dark and only exposed at the end. Prize material here. Should not be surprised to see it turned into a tv series soon.
