This is definitely a collection of bizarre stories; I wonder if they ever find Peter. This is my kind of book, so I'll definitely check it out.

Thorough and positive review of "Harper's Bizarre" by Mike Thorne tells us that a middle-aged man goes missing and a search party is organized to attempt to find out what happened to him. Another line of the story includes Brad, a family man, who is contemplating suicide and murder. The setting is a town called Harper and the people seem to have a difficulty in communicating what they really mean. The setting for this book is the 1980’s so there are no cell phones, barely any computers and DNA testing in such a small town is not available. The crimes need to be investigated differently than modern days. This makes the story more involved and interesting.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
