[K.F. Whatley · Rating 4 out of 5]

A mix of military issues, social issues, US history, and murder. Descriptive prose builds pictures of the key characters, likeable or unlikeable with an underlying creepiness. The character that is a newspaper reporter in North Carolina, and the underlying news angle with mention of familiar places, kept me moving through the story.

Probably could be a 5 rating, except I'm not usually partial to military / historical books.

I was intrigued by this book being from the area. All it was was throwing out names of streets and people. You know the ‘twist’ from the beginning so there was no suspense. And you never really felt connected to the characters. At least it read fast.
