Greyhound Therapy, by JR Conway, is a short read that is both thrilling and touching. A mixture of crime and mystery as well as a few heartfelt scenes, this book has an interesting mix of genres.
Craig Spence is the sheriff of a small town called Sweetwater County where there has been a growing problem of the increase of criminals and mentally ill people flowing into the county through buses. These miscreants are just one of the problems in the Sheriff’s mind as he also has his wife’s recent cancer diagnosis to deal with. When a murder happens in one of the jail’s holding cell and the murderer, Albert Brown, escapes, Craig is on the case as he teams up with law enforcement from other counties. As the hunt for the murderer continues, Craig has to juggle his duties as a sheriff as well as support his wife.
The story started off slowly, but then it got more suspenseful near the end. Throughout the book, there were some surprising twists to the story. The mixture of crime scenes along with heartfelt scenes, like when Craig’s wife found out about her cancer diagnosis, made this book an interesting read. The vivid descriptions of the scenes as well as the detailed characterizations made the story easy to visualize. During the last few chapters of the book, there was a scene that made it seem like there is going to be a second book because of the cliffhanger at the end.
Moreover, what I liked the most about the book were the characters. I found the characters to be dynamic and well-rounded, especially Sheriff Craig. Sheriff Craig is portrayed as a hard-working, selfless character who does his best to bring justice and maintain safety in his town. On the other hand, Brown is ruthless, uncaring, and willing to do whatever it takes to get out of a predicament. He is also very clever since he got himself out of a few tight spots.
Overall, I would rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I mainly gave it 3 stars instead of 4 due to the grammatical errors that I came across. Besides the grammatical errors, I found this book to be an engaging read. The author did a great job of showing how each character was crucial to the story, and the unexpected twists in the plot added thrill to the story. I would recommend this book to readers who like to read crime or mystery books.
