Keene Tempest was, regrettably, temporarily leaving his dreams behind to accept his position assigned him by his family at the unexpected death of his mother. He was the youngest, smallest, and had been the most devoted to his mother. It wasn't because he was always bullied by his older siblings that he was putting all things he was working for aside in Los Angeles to run the family hotel in Hardy, Montana, but because of love for his mother and his honor. He was going to take leave of his education and reserve position as a police officer to make sure the hotel is managed and secure efficiently, then he would hire someone to continue running the hotel. He, then, would return to Los Angeles to finish his degree and return to being a police detective. He had worked hard for this and he was not going to let this setback keep him from obtaining his dreams.

What he anticipated would be a dull, quiet country town, quickly became a rapidly increasing crime-ridden place...crimes directly affecting him and his family!

The author opens with an action packed prologue and never allows the adventures and suspense to slow down. From scene to scene, there are added complications. Even near the last page, the reader questions, "Who did it?".

The Title is slightly too vague to credit it as being a good "fit" for the story. It is definitely a play on words but a "play" many readers would not understand. However, the cover page is well done in emphasizing the title. The penmanship of the writer is excellent. Poulson's writing skills captivates his reader's continual attention. Through local scenes to interstate synergy, the various situations "flow" smoothly together absent of any confusion.

My review of this book offers a strong Four and a Half Stars rating. ( )
