Summary: Great Read any time!
Review: Jeb Quilin is a cop with a problem: drinking. Forced into rehab by his captain and Sarah his wife, Jeb works the program in order to get back to the job. However, when fellow "inmates" are murdered, the job is following Jeb. The twists and turns of the story capture your attention. This is a book you won't put down. Jeb is a complex character who deserves another book; many other books. I hope the author won't abandon Jeb. I'd love to read more. He's a character with flaws and strengths. I look forward to many more books following his up and downs. They should be wonderful.

Summary: Decent Read on Airplane, but Holes Exist
Review: Just got done reading this book on a long plane flight. It passed the time but there were some holes in it that left me less than impressed.

* Very predictable mystery. It will probably take most readers very little time to identify the obvious culprit. Of course now that we are all trained to expect a plot twist on the obvious I was surprised when it never came.

* Character Believability. Jeb's wife and him drifted apart partly due to her evolved materialistic views. So of course her shacking with another cop after Jeb seems unlikely...more like a lawyer. More examples like this.

I just get the feeling that the "12 step" plot is the sctick and everything else is supposed to fill in with less priority around that...and then they never even got through the 12 steps. Good read to pass the time but nothing original or thorough.

If it's true there will be a movie I'm betting it will be really cheesy unless they make some major script rewrites.

Summary: Thought provoking and realistic action
Review: One of the best I've read in some time. Content was suspensefull and realistic. Perfect number of key characters. Many of the peripheral stories where as good as the primary. A book that everyone can relate too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a good book!
Review: Wasn't sure at the beginning but all of a sudden I was hooked. I didn't even see it coming! It's just what you want to happen when reading a book. The characters are likable and the storyline interesting. The book is set in Dallas and Swindle's descriptions of the city make you feel like you are there. I would say all in all a good first outting for Swindle. I am already looking for the next. I hope he takes Jeb along on the next ride. I feel like I know him now. This will make a great beach book!!!!
