Point – A Logan Hunter Mystery – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir,
Laugh, Repeat; Think With Your Taste Buds; A Book and A Dish
I
opened squeaking French doors and stepped into the big yard now in dire need of
attention. I glanced at the beautiful
Blue Ridge Mountain range, wanting it to fill me with peace and calmness. It didn’t happen. Instead I sat down on the terrace steps and
buried my face in my hands. A warm nose
nudged me and I looked into the forlorn eyes of my blood hound, Homer. He turned his head back and forth a few
times, studying me, and then barreled around the corner of the house,
reappearing with a nearly deflated football dangling from his huge mouth. When I made no move to play with him, he put
the ball down and pushed it toward me with his sizable snout. He needed attention too.
Logan
Hunter has lost her husband Chase as well as their baby she was carrying. As she sits in the Asheville home that she
inherited after Chase’s death, all memories of the past continue to flood her
mind. Then the phone rings.
Logan
is a North Carolina SBI agent and after months of trying to pull herself back
together, her agent supervisor has decided it’s time for her to get back into
the game of life. Her assignment is to
travel to Beaufort to investigate the death of a 14 year old boy who was known,
by the whole town, as being the “ruling bully.”
Kids, parents, teachers, store keepers, all alike were no exception. He would bully anyone to get his way. This being said, the number of suspects that
would be on Logan’s list to talk to included pretty much the whole town. But this wasn’t all that Logan was hit
with. She was being assigned to work with
Farris “Crack” McCracken. She had been
teamed with McCracken before and the two are like mixing oil and water. She blamed him partially for not backing her
up when she needed him the most which prevented her from getting help for
Chase, resulting in his death. He blamed
himself for the death of his own wife and for letting Logan down in her time of
need. This assignment is something she
simply does not want to do but has no choice in the matter.
I’ve
read all of the Logan Hunter series and loved them all. I’ve followed her through happy times as well
as sad. I’ve laughed with her when she
went to the Mountain Testicle Fest and hurt with her when she lost her
husband. And I’ve cheered her on each time she picks up
the pieces and puts herself back into action.
Each of the books gives the reader everything a good book should…
mystery, love, hate, happiness, sadness, laughter, tears, and just a tiny bit
of sex.
