Publisher's summary

Lieutenant Joe Boyd gets some surprising news from his wife, Kate. He barely has time to process it when he’s given an assignment to confront an aging ex-con, just paroled for a brutal murder committed 36 years ago. The man’s on his way back there now, even though he has no friends and no family left in Culpepper. The chief’s convinced this can only mean trouble. When Joe and his partner Hank visit Sam Clemens, their instincts tell them there might be more to this story than anyone imagines. Much more. But their captain, the courts, and everyone else in town believes this murder was solved decades ago. Are they right? Is a paroled killer coming back to town now? Or has the real killer been here all along, roaming the streets of their lovely little town?

Very impressed with the storyline and the development of the characters.

Was not impressed with the virtual voice. Having over 400 books in my audible library It was lacking the emotion of a story that is told and spoken by a human person.

Fresh Start

It was a good story line. I suppose that in some small towns the police might be inclined to help an ex-convict. I loved that he was still a likeable guy even after spending years in jail wrongfully convicted. He still likes the town he left. I felt like the story could gave included several interactions between the Sam and the actual murderer. I loved that it was clean reading with a good sprinkle of Christianity.

Title Me Christian

Good story and characters guided by good intentions. The meaning of the title is worth waiting to learn. Virtual narration is okay, only a bit sing song.
