Publisher's summary

A young woman is murdered in Middle Falls, Oregon in 1952. The police never make an arrest, but the town convicts Ned Summers of the crime anyway. He banishes himself to a small house in the woods where he lives alone for the rest of his life.

When he dies, he opens his eyes back in 1952, just a few days before the murder occurred.

Can Ned Summers stop the murder and save his friend?

Includes a special bonus note read by the author.

it's a toss up.

This might be my favorite book in this series yet. it's a toss up between this one and the Redemption. Still love how you tie all the characters and books together.

Excellent Narration, Light Story

While I love every book in this series, and will eagerly anticipate many more, it must be said that this book is the lightweight of the series, most likely written quickly without as much forethought as the others. Still I gave it 5 stars because I love how Inmon writes and I am always entertained. However, take your time, Shawn, and add more depth and dimension to the next one. We can wait.

Another Great One

After the initial book, I became less enthralled with them until this, and the subsequent Ebook. Awesome. And it raises some interesting questions. Like just because someone did something bad once, doesn’t mean they will do it again and again…??

Narrator almost killed it for me.

An excellent story with a thought-provoking premise. Can everything eventually be worked out? Maybe, maybe not. You will have to figure that out as you read or listen to the story.

However— the narrator is a bad fit for this story, especially when speaking for our protagonist. It’s just me probably, but the narrator’s voice, intonation, and tone gives the reader the distinct impression that Ned’s intellectual capacity is that of a child throughout the entire book. Actually, it’s worse than that, like a spaced-out Holy Fool.

However, if you pick up the book and read the content. Ned is anything but a Holy Fool.

IDK

Had to overall the rating for personal preference on this title. Enjoyed the story and performance but just irratating on some of the resolution in the story. Author notes helped on some of the explanations but arrrrrggggg.

Another great story in the series

This is a fantastic installment in the Middle Falls series. It reminds me of the Ralph Abernathy quote, I don't know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future. I've been chewing on that quote for the last twenty years, though I seem to forget it when I need to remember it most. This story is a good reminder that regardless of what happens around me, my response is my own and dictates my life path more than anything else.
