Publisher's summary

Defense attorney Jackson Taylor traded his Chattahoochee River roots for a high-rise office in Atlanta, but when a childhood friend is accused of murder, he’s drawn back to the small town he thought he’d left behind. The boy is now a man shadowed by secrets—a cheat, a crook–maybe. But a killer?

As Jackson investigates, unsettling questions emerge. Why is his father, a former straight-laced sheriff, urging him to drop the case? With his father's memory fading and his behavior growing more erratic by the day, Jackson wonders if he's hiding something. The mystery deepens with threatening letters, hidden cameras, and the most damning clue of all: his father's fingerprints on the murder weapon.

In a town where buried secrets refuse to stay hidden, Jackson races against time to uncover the truth. But to crack his case, he'll have to confront the reality that everyone in Loblolly has something to hide, even the ex-sheriff.

"The Town I Call Home" is the gripping first book in the Loblolly small-town mystery series, perfect for fans of Louise Penny, Mary Higgins Clark, and Rhys Bowen’s “The Rose Arbor.”

Good Read!

The story gripped me from the first few pages. I enjoyed the South Georgia setting. Became very invested in the characters.

Really good

Loved the story! Honestly, if it had not noted that it was an AI read book, I would never have noticed. Voice inflections and pleasant sounding voice, I did not notice the mispronounced worsds that some mentioned, but you get that with human narration, too. I will look for more from this author.

Good mystery, twists and turns.

The story was an enjoyable little mystery. Virtual AI narration was dry, flat, with mispronuntion of words and abbreviations. The narration was soporific.

Excellent story

Loved the story line but the narration sucked. No inflection in the voice, no excitement at appropriate times... Monotone and boring voice over.

vertual voice leave something to be desired

The virtual voice was okay but there was no inflection and sometimes you couldn't tell who was supposed to be talking. I really enjoyed the book. just not the virtual voice. I don't think I will pick another audiobook that has virtual voice for that reason.

Relationship between father and son and commitment of son to his father

Realistic portrayal of small town relationships where everyone knows everyone else through generations. Voice was easy to listen to and made portrayed the character of the son
