Promises of Home

Summary: The best Jordan Poteet so far!
Review: I never expected a series to "keep" me as much as this one. Secrets from the past, characters you actually care about (Imagine that!), and a plot that never lets up. I read this in two nights (It would've been one if I hadn't need some sleep) and started the fourth in the series after finishing the third. If you're looking for a series that will make you laugh, cry, guess, sympathize, and empathize, Jeff Abbott is the one for you!

Summary: Abbott only gets better!
Review: Lost love, dark family secrets, coming to grips with the past, murder -- and a tornado to boot! Mr. Abbott would get my vote for an Edgar award, if I could vote..

Summary: Third in the award-winning Jordan Poteet series
Review: PROMISES OF HOME marks a departure in the Jordan Poteet series, a movement toward a somewhat darker tone and more serious subjects. (That didn't keep me from including a female Elvis impersonator among the characters). It's a traditional mystery novel that also explores the relationships between a group of men that have been close friends from childhood--and how that circle is shattered by murder, betrayal, and the horror of a long-ago crime.

Review: This is the 3rd page turner in the Jordan Poteet series. I was thankful that I had the next in the series "Distant Blood" ready to go the minute I finished this one. "Promises of Home" came from a slightly different angle than the first two, but kept me guessing all the way. I love the way Abbott writes!-just the right mixture of suspense, thrills, romance, nostalgia & humor.

Summary: Excellent mystery
Review: Twelve-year-old Jordan Poteet and his best friends decide to ride out a hurricane in a tree house. When high winds frighten them down from their perch, they run for home and discover a dead body on the way. It is presumed that the young girl died as a result of the storm, but later events cast some doubt on this conclusion.
The story continues in the present with the 12-year-olds now in their 30's. One of them is returning home after deserting his wife and son. Upon his return, his buddies begin to show up dead. Concern grows as the killer seems to get closer to Jordan and his remaining friends. Abbott's conclusions are never simple, and the dysfunctional family lives of Jordan's friends are exposed during the course of his investigation. This is another well-written book by a talented author.
