My Name is Kreussenheimer by Dale Preuss is a fictional story about the man Kevin Kreussenheimer. The book is the first volume of the life of Kevin Kreussenheimer, containing chapters 1–29. Kevin, or Mr. Kroy, as he is called by some, is a complex man; he's not the type of man for whom you can just know what is going on with him. Kevin is a father and grandfather, though he does not look as old as he seems. He's a man who is always planning five moves ahead, and while some things may seem accidental or a coincidence, it may all just be a grand plan by Kevin. This first volume tells us about his divorce from his wife, Joss, the loss of his daughter, and how he deals with that loss, as well as the people who come into his orbit as the story progresses. It's a story of love, loss, family, horror, heartbreak, action, mystery, and so much more.
 
The book is written in first-person pronouns, and different characters in the book get to narrate the story themselves; it's not just Kevin doing the narration. We can see what the characters are feeling and thinking; this makes the book unique and helps the readers understand what's going on. The book contains mystery, suspense, and death; while some may be accidental, others are not; family drama; and many more. The author also includes some dialogues in Russian, and he also translates them. 
 
I enjoyed the character of Kevin Kreussenheimer to the fullest. He is like a mix of James Bond and a very loving father. He does all he can to protect his family, and he makes sure that they are well taken care of. For someone who has experienced loss and who himself has caused a lot of loss and pain to others, it is surprising how he still has such a deep well of love for others. It's an admirable quality.
 
I enjoyed the book; it's a completely fictional novel; it has the ingredients of a mystery; it's an action novel; and it even contains humor. The characters all played their roles well, and they made this book interesting. I commend the author for the arrangement of the book into three different parts and chapters. This first volume has set the stage for the remainder of the book, and I can't wait to see what happens next in the life of Kevin Kreussenheimer. I also commend the editor for the exceptional editing done on this book. There is nothing I dislike in this book.
 
I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars; it's a really enjoyable novel to read about Kevin and those who came into his orbit. I recommend this book to all lovers of fiction. Through the pages of this book, you'll get immersed in the life of this very intriguing, complex fictional character.

Me. Kroy sounds like a very calculating character. I'm curious to know how he handled the loss of his daughter. I also want to know what he accomplished with his gift as a good planner.

I thoroughly enjoyed Kevin Kreussenheimer's persona. He seems a cross between a devoted parent and James Bond. He makes sure his family is well taken care of and does everything in his power to keep them safe. It is astonishing that he still has such a great reservoir of love for others considering that he has suffered loss and has caused a great deal of loss and suffering to others. It is a commendable trait.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. Kevin appears to be an interesting character with lots of depth and lots of stories to tell. I do enjoy a mix of genres, but too much of a mix can water everything down. It doesn't seem like you found that though.
