Title: Mile of Cars Murders
Author: Joe Harwell
Narrator: W.B. Ward
Format: Unabridged
Length: 2 hrs and 58 mins
Language: English
Release date: 08-13-14
Publisher: Joe Harwell Publishing
Genres: Fiction, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
Car dealers in Norman, a Stillwater newspaper, storm chasers from OU, a bar outside Chickasha, and an automotive chop shop in Harrah are locations featured in Mile of Cars Murders, a new novel by Tulsa writer Joe Harwell that follows a four-year investigation into the disappearance of eight people in central Oklahoma. The Murrah Building bombing and the 1999 Moore tornado are the historical markers for even greater tragedy in the Britton family.
Mother and father, Pat and J.P. (Joe Paul, Sr.) leave home early on April 19th, 1995, relying on their capable teenage sons, Joe Paul, Jr., and Dale, to take care of the ranch outside Perkins, and their siblings, nine-year-old Thomas and 11-year-old Henry. After some rocky times, both personally and financially, Pat and J.P. are taking a much needed day together without the kids to do some shopping in Oklahoma City, with plans to return home by eight pm. As news of the Murrah Building bombing breaks, Joe Paul, Jr., isn't too worried about his parents, since their plans didn't include being in downtown Oklahoma City. When Thomas falls and breaks his arm after school, Dale calls an ambulance, but can't reach his parents, who don't carry a pager or cell phone.
Eight o'clock comes and goes and Pat and J.P. aren't home. When days turn into weeks, months, then years without a trace of them, the Britton boys and other families in central Oklahoma discover an awful truth. A lot of people didn't make it home after the Oklahoma City bombing, but not all of them went missing because of it. With no solid leads for two years, the authorities finally get a break in 1997, jump starting the investigation at a roller coaster pace, which comes to a startling conclusion as the deadly F5 tornado rips through Bridge Creek and Moore in 1999. Mile of Cars Murders is a follow-up to Harwell's 2012 novel, Payne County Weekly.

Oklahoma Historical Mystery
Mile of Cars Murders by Joe Harwell is the next one in the trilogy beginning with Payne County Weekly. The same characters Bo and Debbie Stark, and LaShell Martin are looking for the couple that disappeared at the end of the Payne County Weekly. During a tornado that rips through the mile of cars dealerships, five bodies were discovered. These bodies are murder victims, not storm victims, and Bo, Debbie, and LaShell continue their hunt for Joe Paul and Pat Britton. They have many dangerous moments as they follow the clues. They lose and ally who turns up murdered in a burned out car. They are often in danger, from the murderers and from the tornados that rip through the state of Oklahoma.
I enjoyed this mystery. The Joe Harwell lays down a logical argument and leads us on a trail of clues. We finally find out who did it during a tornado that kills one of our main characters, Joe Paul Britton, Jr. The characters are well developed. The settings are described in detail, and vivid. The dialogue is realistic. I give this novel a five out of five stars.
Another tour de force
Mr. Harwell has produced another gripping tale in his Payne County Weekly series. The story's twists and turns will have the reader on the edge of their seat to the very last page.
Not Your Ordinary Murder Mystery
This entertaining story is much more complex than your typical murder mystery. It is set in Oklahoma with the 1995 bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, as well as a deadly tornado, as the backdrop. There is not a lot of detail about the bombing.
