Didn’t see it coming
Reviewed: 12-20-24
The author had just enough lies, from so many people, to make you wonder how the title fit into the story. The story itself was a worthy listening. The mystery of where each person fit into the story, kept me interested and guessing how it would end. The ending was terrific.

The Ending Made It worth the Listen

Charles is one of the best at pulling on your heart strings. I would actually give it 4 1/2 stars because of the somewhat confusing portion of the book around 2/3 into the book. The reader is one of the best at changing dialects and makes the book more appealing. I loved the 2 main characters, They were very down to earth and enjoyable throughout the book. I think Charles Martin is one of the best authors who is like a clean comedian. When you have one who can make you feel good inside without the dirtiness included on the outside. And Martin always pulls on the heart at the end. I definitely recommend this book and the author's other books.

Disappointing

It was well written until the end. The story when it got to the end was a bit predictable and not much to the climax. It had a good premise , then it disappointed.

Another Excellent Martin Book
Reviewed: 01-07-23
This book started out a little slower than most of his other books I have read. However, it picks up speed and is hard to put down. You can't miss his last chapter that has a brief history of Hurricane Carlos that hit Nicaragua. This really brings the importance of this book to life.

Story
It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girl’s pretty yellow dress can’t quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.

Charles Martin writes an incredible story that hits the heart. Although you know what is going to happen, early in the book, he waits long enough to keep you listening. I kept wanting to turn it off, but just couldn't.

The Murphy Shepherd trilogy is one of the best I’ve ever read. In our current world, slavery exists . Most of us don’t even realize the sex trade that is out there. Charles Martin brings it very close to home. I would highly recommend this series of books by Charles Martin.

I tried listening to this book. I stopped at after almost 5 hours. It is very slow and not much to the story at this time. I am not willing to put 13 hours into it.

Christianity has a rich, evidential history, yet most of us are ill prepared to make the case for what we believe. In Forensic Faith, veteran detective J. Warner Wallace teaches us the principles investigators use, so we can develop a clear, evidence-based faith.

Jay Warner Wallace is an excellent detective. His descriptions for Christians to use in apologetics is excellent. However the PDF files for this book is really needed to best use the information in the book. I recommend getting the book.

Why I am a conservative
Reviewed: 11-04-20
I have friends that are similar in my religious values. I don’t understand why they would be Democrat or liberal. I don’t understand how they don’t think like I do. However this book gave me great insight what dopamine does to our thinking. It was a lot more thought-provoking and interesting than I thought it would be. I recommend this book. It may help to understand why people would choose socialism over a free society.
