Review of Ransom for the Many
Based in New York, Dean Dubose is a senior partner in PR. A life-changing discovery emerges in Haiti about a miraculous tree capable of sustaining its countless impoverished people. Dean jumps at the opportunity, and off to Haiti he goes, albeit against his girlfriend's wishes.
Upon arrival, and by happenstance, Dubose meets Father Charles, a priest who runs an orphanage and ensures a smooth adoption transition to willing families in the United States. Charles can't achieve this alone; his boyhood friend, Herve, is his partner. Amidst his investigation of the miraculous tree, Dean discovers a diabolical trafficking scheme in one of the Haitian orphanages. Armed with nothing but a friendly demeanor, Dubose begins a dangerous endeavor to expose this nefarious plot. Who is/are behind it? Will Dean come out of this alive?
You'll have to fall in love with Ransom for the Many by William Petrick. The characters were certainly distinct and charming. Herve was a businessman with only riches in his mind. Father Charles was undoubtedly full of surprises. Of them all, Grace was the most outstanding. Dubose couldn't help but love the unpredictable people in the small town. I loved Jerome— lovable and amiable; Dean couldn't help but feel like they were long, lost friends.
I enjoyed the idea of a miraculous tree providing food for needy citizens. If only such an idea could come to fruition in real life. I couldn't help but wonder how many people would benefit from such an astounding revelation. The book addresses real-life evils: corruption, trafficking, mistreatment, and racism. Equally, the author highlights scientific findings of plant-based nutrition. With a fast-paced plot incorporating some scientific touches, readers will love this installment.
I found just three grammatical issues. Therefore, the book is professionally edited. With nothing to dislike, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. Masterfully crafted, William Petrick maintains an unpredictable plot, interpreted Haitian dialect, and a satisfying conclusion. I recommend the novel to readers seeking publications on human evils and humanitarian quests.
