Publisher's Summary:

Murder and vigilante justice.

It's the trial of the century in a 1940s North Carolina town.....

War hero and law student Wes Ross has to save his uncle - but hide the truth.

Taught to shoot in the rough logging camps of the North Carolina swamps, Wes Ross remembers his lessons well. Dodging hostile gunfire with dozens of other young Marines, he storms a remote Pacific island as one of Carlson's Raiders in the first commando-style attack of World War II. He blasts several Japanese snipers from their palm-tree hideouts with buckshot before an enemy bullet sends him home.

The Carolina home front includes a new girlfriend and a new occupation, learning to be a rural lawyer in his uncle's law office, including courtroom intrigue and what goes on behind the scenes. Wes, like his uncles, is a good man, the kind who takes up for the poor and downtrodden and looks out for those who are easy prey for bullies.

Frog Cutshaw is the storekeeper in the Caney Fork backwoods, a swaggering ex-moonshiner who is deadly with his ever-present .45 auto pistol. Frog's daylight rape of a married woman and the brutal killing of her husband bring on Bible Belt vigilante justice: an eye for an eye, a life for a life.

I liked the theme of the book

I liked the theme of the book. I loved the description of the book. But I was disappointed by the book. Maybe my expectations were just set too high because of the reviews and descripitons.

First pages were very good. I liked the slangy style used in the story. It was this choice of language, which pulled me closer to the characters. I could imagine their story, lifestyle and guess their education. The characters became alive because of that.

The book also was a page turner - I can't deny that. I wantetd to know, how will the story end despite the fact that it was quite obvious. And I was not bored a moment. This is a good thing, isn't it?

At the same time I was expecting more of the inner struggle, ethical dilemmas, human nature exposed. There was nothing of it. Nothing. Just mere actions without reasoning, without explanations, without thoughts and regrets. At some point I wanted to ask, is killing a human being really as easy and ordinary as to go to the toilet and take a pee in the morning? You just don't think about it. Do it and forget it. Really? Even if the person has done bad things, can anyone be so righteous to dear playing god without one question asked to himself? There has to be so much of the inner struggle, so much emotions, dilemmas and tears between the time when someone took your husband's life and did bad things to you yourself and the moment, when you appear with a gun confident to kill that someone. Nothing of that exposed in the book. Like it was so obvious.

So if you want a light literature to pass the weekend, it is the right book for you. The time will pass by quickly but if you want some deeper view, better dont't touch the book. It can make you really angry.

A real page turner, leaving me thirsting for more.

Authentic use of language and description of people & customs of the time made it an enjoyable read. The murder & trial were believable in that setting.

I look forward to reading more by this author.

The Devil Come's To Caney Fork

My newest favorite writer is Wally Avett. Mr. Avett very tells a story that is in the truest southern form.

Publisher's Summary:

A new millennium of Chicago crime...

Chicago has always been a hotbed for violence, crime, and political corruption. Four governors served prison sentences; two of them were sentenced to longer jail sentences than their terms of office. There are always more crimes than cops.

During prohibition, Detective Tug Collier created the "Widows and Orphans Fund", a euphemism for graft money. That fund eventually financed a private investigative agency known as Taylor Street. When a case involving violence is closed for lack of evidence, the police department refers the case to the private detectives of Taylor Street who use alternative crime-fighting techniques.

Frankie Turk and Lola Lahti were suspended for using excessive violence in the pursuit of justice. So they were the perfect detectives to investigate the murder of the husband of a wealthy young widow who owns Chicago's hottest night spot, Club Red. Join Chicago's most interesting crime-fighting couple as they investigate The Taylor Street File of Red Cin.

Critic Reviews:

"A sharp murder mystery held together by likable characters" (Kirkus Indie Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Alternate police force?

While Im not a proponent of vigilante justice, especially not when it has, if even indirectly, the approval and backing of official law enforcement, I did enjoy this book, because the premise was presented and carried out extremely well. The case was maze like in its complexity, but the writer managed to keep everything fairly straight, so that while I was often befuddled, I wasnt actually confused. Granted I saw the outlines of the resolution before that resolution occurred, but not *how* it would happen.

One of the things that hooked me and kept me reading was the marvelous character development. Each person in this book is well developed, multi dimensional, and when not sympathetic, interesting. There are some surprise heroes here, too, and the 2 main characters are humanly complicated. The writing is excellent. The author has a strong voice, leavened with a dry, often sarcastic sense of humor.

This is a very enjoyable mystery/adventure, but it also touches on more serious issues, without ever allowing them to overshadow the story.

I have found, generally, that authors do NOT make good narrators, since writing and narrating require 2 very different skill sets, so my rule of thumb is to avoid books narrated by their authors, usually by several miles. However, every rule must have exceptions to prove it, and the narration provided by the author of this book is just such an exception. The author provided a skilled, expressive narration, with perfect pronunciation and character voicing. In fact, knowing that the author was the narrator, I had to check several times to make sure that was correct. I was, and not only can Mr. Cerny write, but he can narrate, both impeccably!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for this unbiased review from AudioBookBlast dot com.

Decent Enough

This was a very typical story and just OK narration. A little repetitious and the narrators voice was a bit irritating at times. Generally, it was worth a try, some will like it more than I did

loved it

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I was provide a copy of the Audiobook of The Taylor Street File of Red Cin in exchange for an honest review. I am so glad JoBe offered his work to me.

A great mystery

This was a great mystery book. I loved that it kept you guessing literally till the last minute. Every time you think you know who's the bad person, you find out you're wrong. I love books that you don't know the ending within the first hour or two but this one had me guessing the whole way through. It's a short story and once again I'm always amazed how she fits such a complex story with complex characters in such a short time frame. Somehow she does and she does it well. I'm really loving her books. Julie Elizabeth Powell is a very talented writer and I can't wait till she has more books out. I'm coming close to finishing all her books but once I read Of Sound Mind and absolutely loved it, I had to check out her other books and read them. She should be a well known household name with how talented her writing is. The book has some sexual content in it but nothing graphic or detail. I think it's suitable for all ages. If you love mysteries you don't want to pass this one, I highly recommend it and I highly recommend you check out her other books as well. So far, everything I've read has been a 4 (Only one and even at that after reading it again I should have given it 5 stars, excellent book) to 5 star book and suitable for all ages.

The narration was great. It was very fitting for the book.

IT WAS OK, GREAT NARRATION!

Publisher's Summary:

What is found within the depths of the human soul? Does wickedness linger, as if the Devil's thumb is ready to pluck the strings of certain choices? And with the strumming, just how far will Evil spread?

13 is the story of random souls pitted against the tragedy of the modern world. What is their connection, if any? Nameless; are these merely humans whose weaknesses force them to commit heinous crimes, or demons under the skin, aware of their sins yet indifferent to the outcome?

Will they decipher the unknown and make it out alive?

Members Reviews:

So great I listened to it twice.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend this book to a to a friend or anyone who loves a great complex woven tale of mystery and murder.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that it was so detailed and complex all packed into such a short time frame, not an easy thing to do.

Have you listened to any of Don Warricks other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've never heard any of his work before but I thought his voice was very fitting for the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Mystery and Murder

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book. I was surprised at how detailed and complex the story was. The story was packed with so much in such a short period of time. It was so well written and I enjoyed every part of it. You don't often find short stories to have such great plots as this book does. Usually there's not enough time to fit it all in, in a short read but somehow Julie Elizabeth Powell made it work. A great enjoyable mini read. I felt like you really got to know the characters. When the book was done I came away feeling like it was so good it deserved another read. I did actually reread it this morning in case I had missed something since it was so packed full of stuff and I'm glad I did. I did miss something in the very beginning and the book was good enough for a second read anyway. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.

Members Reviews:

Quite a complex tale from Angel Hill.

I love how the AH shorts are named after Harvey Danger songs. This one tells the complex tale of Sean and his conspiracy theories, or are they? The strange lives of the residents of Angel Hill just get curiouser and curiouser. C. Dennis Moore just gets better all the time. I would highly recommend anything he writes, but Angel Hill is my favourite.

Publisher's Summary:

For fans of zombie fiction (who are tired of The Walking Dead) and fans of the Divergent, Hunger Games, and Maze Runner series who want a more grown-up story.

From the authors who brought you the best-selling Citadel series and action-packed suspense thrillers...

Adam Bolland, a manager at the Colorado Springs municipal water treatment facility, is only trying to enjoy his career, family, and life.

But when things start changing around him, he isn't sure what's going on. His wife and kids aren't acting...normal. When he looks into it more, he realizes the problem is larger than that. His coworkers, friends, and everyone seem to be acting strange.

So he decides to take matters into his own hands and steals some vials of a mysterious chemical from his company, embarking on a mad escape from the police, placing himself and his family in danger.

But he must find out: What exactly is in the water?

Members Reviews:

An exciting Nick Thacker/Kevin Tumlinson collaboration

As a big fan of both Nick Thacker and Kevin Tumlinson, I was delighted to see them collaborate on a science fiction/apocalypse/artificial intelligence/technology book. They are excellent at fleshing out their characters and presenting well-crafted can't-put-the-book-down plots.

Adam Bolland, the "hero" of this first book in the trilogy, knows there is something wrong with his family and friends. They behave like zombies, but they don't go around eating people, they just act weird.

Adam believes there is something in the water, so he steals vials of a chemical he believes to be at fault and escapes with his family. Before he and his friend Ethan (who are the "lucid") can get the vials to Professor Milton, his family is taken away by the police, he and Ethan are knocked out, and their vehicles are stolen.

I can't wait to read The Lucid: Episode Two.

Non-zombie zombie fiction with a great

I'm so glad they didn't use the word zombies. They used the word suppressed. I like that idea much better. It seems more realistic and less gruesome. It fits this novel very well.

I also like Adam's heart. His love for his family is developed throughout the novel. It isn't just a throw away thought to show his humanity. It is his driving force. This makes him the obvious good guy. And the obvious bad guy has no family and seems to have no feelings for anyone else. He doesn't have much humanity left in him.

I like the clear cut good guy and bad guy. I like that the problem of humanity is brought down to a personal and familial level. These things set this novella apart from other "end of humanity, machines are taking over" novels I have read. I look forward to others in this series.

Normally I don't like "Episodic Fiction," but Thacker and Tumlinson have a hit here

The world has turned upside down, but not in the manner that you expect. The protagonist in this novel is thrown into a world where everyone, including many of those close to him are seemingly running on autopilot -- just awaiting their next command. Similar to how many programs and apps work. But what caused this to happen?

This book is the definition of gripping. You are thrown into the action right away and then taken from it to better understand it.
