My Review:

I must confess, I wasn't attracted to the cover, but the description pulled me in anyway. Inside is some of a lot of things. Yes, to suspense, action, romance, and faith. Also you can check mark a ton of political view points and several strong characters, even if you aren't sure how you feel about them.

Now, for those who have never been around wild boars or feral hogs, you just don't know how much damage and destruction they can cause. I'm in the South, and I know about this. They are sometimes such horrible beasts that the powers that be say you can take them out as needed. They kill crops, farms, humans, cause property damage and much more. When this book started with having to kill of wild hogs that I was in for a big ride!

The author pulled current events into this book with clever using of some of the many wrong things happening into day's world. It's defiantly on a timely level for reading in that regards. I also couldn't skip that this is set in Alabama.

This book is designed to open eyes, and make you think. I feel that it did that quite well. That a lot of it happened to be on topics I'm already versed in didn't hurt. I can't figure out if it has a sequel coming or not, because of the ending.

More from Jeff

I didn’t “come up” with the idea for Lawson’s Bluff. The idea found me after I published a piece about a hunter in Georgia who hunts wild boars with dogs and a knife. Like character Jack Lawson, he never carries a gun, preferring, instead, to tackle the hog and slay it the old-fashioned way. So, as with previous novels, I didn’t write this one either. The story wrote me. I had no clue where the story was going until informed … by the story. This approach is what makes life interesting, I think. And what makes novels interesting, too—twisting action and romance in unpredictable settings.
