I looked it up on Amazon to read the reviews. I’ll consider purchasing it. The first few pages were interesting and held my attention. The author just dives right in to an incident in the first paragraph which is unusual and, to me, very good. It got my attention right away. I don’t like slogging through books, be that the sign of a good reader or not.
