Ah small towns and their gossips and nosiness. I think I'll enjoy this read as it sounds very intriguing. I'm curious to find out what happened to Peter and whether Brad continues with the idea of poisoning his family, how horrible is that. Thanks for an insightful review. Congrats on BOTD.

The components of this narrative promise to create an enchanting Netflix series or movie. The city of Harper is immersed in enigmatic occurrences that its residents are cognizant of but fearful to confront. I am an avid enthusiast of narratives wherein one must connect smaller tales to unravel the intricate puzzle of mystery and drama. I eagerly anticipate delving into this book. Congratulations to the author for having the BOTD.

Thanks for the review. Sounds chilling. Crack addiction is definitely a very heavy topic.

I love crime thrillers so this is right up my alley. I also like short chapters so that's a bonus for me too. I'm looking forward to finding out what happened to Peter and how everything ties in. Thanks for the great review.

Harper's Bizarre is a series of unexpected events that happened at Harper in the 40s. It follows the townspeople as they deal with these events. A fascinating, curious recollection of bizarre stories.

My interest was piqued the minute I heard bizarre stories. I do hope that they find Peter, since I don't know if his son, whose bike he went to get, has only him as family. I wonder what kind of town would be this way, and still, people decide to stay. Congratulations on BOTD!!

I enjoy strange stories and better when they are free. Illegal drugs should be avoided at all times. They are a menace to the user and the community.

Harper’s Bizarre

While Peter is on a walk with his dog searching for his son’s bicycle, his kind is telling him otherwise. At this point the bike was found but now Peter is missing. As the reader we are able to visualize what is happening, which is most appreciated. Not only do we see that night walking in certain areas put us at risk. As the reader it makes us realize that when we get those urges or thoughts in our minds about danger, we should listen more.
