Witness to a car crash and in receipt of a cryptic message from a dying man, traveling musician, Chet Walker, reaches the picturesque lakeside town of Lucky Shores. He faces hostility and suspicion from the locals and learns that the information he carries could unlock an eight-year-old mystery—it could also get him killed. Josephine Dolan, owner of the Lucky Shores diner, wants to bury her past. When Walker arrives with a message from her father, she doesn’t want to hear it. She cuts him cold. When his life is threatened, Chet Walker learns the truth behind the saying, “no good deed goes unpunished.”

My Review

4.0 out of 5 stars

Well-drawn main character dropped into a great setting!

I loved the setting – a small town nestled in the Colorado Rockies. Donovan’s main character, Chet Walker, is finely drawn from the details of his back story that informs his current actions to his multi-faceted personality – the musician, the martial arts fighter, the drifter, to say nothing of his mysterious knowledge of firefighting and medicine. It takes some time for Chet to come completely into focus – another master stroke of storytelling! A line like, “… focused on the pain and the rain and the water running down the drain.” as Chet observes his surroundings and turns them into a tune captures the reader’s imagination. A mysterious sheriff, a small town doctor who seems anything but and a damsel in distress round out a team of secondary characters who all hit the right notes. Solid writing – an enjoyable read.

So, there you have it – a great book at a great price. Off you go to the Amazon site of your choice. Here’s your link to Kerry’s book on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.ca

Happy reading on lucky shores.
