Fans of small town fiction will delight in this well told tale! Set in 1950's Florida, in a one police car town, the colorful cast of characters spring to life with their fun dialogue, mishap adventures, suspenseful moments, and real life struggles. It had me laughing out loud, reading late into the night, and in tears even, not wanting it to end. An instant add to my favorite books list!
Absolutely loved the main character, Winston Browne! He was indeed incredible, with his big heart, despite his own personal struggles. His love for others shines through his actions, and his faithful friendships grow through adversity. The author does a great job bringing all of the characters' perspectives to light. The story flows seamlessly along, like the little river flowing through town. Superb storytelling, like a Southern style Garrison Keillor. Not a light tale with the serious issues mixed in, but the humor kept it from bogging down.
Highly recommend! Solid 5 stars
