Why choose Sublime Book Review?

Finding the right reviews for the right budget can be hard for an Indie or self-published author. And in many cases, you unknowingly pay for a review that is 100% guaranteed positive. While it’s nice for a reviewer to tell you your book is “the greatest book ever written,” this doesn’t necessarily help you, the author, and it certainly doesn’t help the industry leaders (librarians, booksellers, media professionals) make calculated decisions about purchasing your book or requesting your title for their library.

Emmett Hardy returns in the latest novel in Chris Kelsey’s exciting series. The story begins with the discovery of the body of a young man, and it doesn’t take long for the small-town Oklahoma police chief to think it might be connected to other recent murders in the area. Unfortunately, he has to conduct his investigation from the sidelines and in secret while the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation leads the charge. Emmett struggles with his personal demons as he searches for justice and the connection between the seemingly random series of murders in his hometown.

I confess that I’m a fan of this author’s work. He has an easy style, and the development and interplay between his characters are always very well done. The novel is peppered with an entertaining wit and gives the reader a nostalgic look at a small-town in the 1970s. It was a quick read, mainly because of the fast pace, the intrigue, and the need to know what would happen next, making it difficult to put down. It is one of several in a series, but the backstory is handled in such a way that it can easily be read on its own. This is a novel that would have a wide appeal to mystery or thriller fans, or anyone who wants to be drawn into a story just for the entertainment value. Another highly recommended work from Chris Kelsey.

Sublime Line: “Chris Kelsey hits another home-run with this fast-paced and enthralling mystery starring Emmett Hardy.”
