This crime fiction centres around the father-daughter duo, Salty and Sylvia. The book is more character-driven than plot-driven and, therefore, has fewer but well-written and well-rounded characters.

Interesting review. I wonder how salty's daughter will be able to relate with him when the truth of her mother's murder is finally out.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I am intrigued as to how Salty accidentally killed his wife and why he did not report it, but rather chose to go on the run…

I would love to know how Sylvia finds closure, following the crime her father committed against her. I am a sucker for mystery/ crime thrillers, so this is definitely a must-read for me.

Nice cover page. The feature of the book that the characters define themeslves and that it was paced smoothly and moderately made me believe that the book would be enjoyable. Can't wait to read it. Congrats on botd. Great review.

This sure seems like a suspenseful story. I am curious to know what made Salty kill his wife. Thanks and great job on the review.

What Harold ‘Salty’ Saltzmanous passed through was as a result of his past deeds. I hope Sylvia and him was able to find closure in the end. Congrats on BOTD.

I enjoyed reading the sample of the other thriller book by this author, so I'm sure this one is also good! I like the humorous aspect of this book as well as the engaging writing style that made me forget the passage of time. The plot reminds me of a merry-go-round of life where the characters eventually meet even if one avoids the other. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Sounds like a winner judging by the review. Salty and Sylvia do make for a pretty interesting pair and I would love to see how it all plays out. Definitely worth it.

A husband killing his wife and leaving their child motherless is really tragic. I hope to see how they both go through life with the pains of such
loss.

This sounds like a very powerful and important book. It sounds like it really had a huge impact on you. That's the mark of a really good book when an author can really reach out to readers like that. Great review!
