Wonderful experience, Thomas Blume what a man!! I want to first appreciate the author Phil... what a story... Totally kept me occupied. Could relate with Thomas a lot in the beginning. I too have my own set of regrets, but the way he overcomes and solves the ellington case and saves charlie he and his determination was outstanding. Maybe Thomas has given me a sense of motivation tooo! to overcome my urges and come out of my regrets from my past. Also credit Jamal for his amazing support to Thomas. He is a gem. and finally the twist in the end 😱 about Sarah and Tommy... ohh god !. brilliant experience all in all. I hope the author reads my review. I just want him to know I loved it and immediately going to part 2. Once again thank you so much for this story and giving me such a beautiful experience 🙏

Absolutely gripping, attention holding entertainment at its finest. I read all the " big name" mystery thriller writers. They have NOTHING on this author. He held my attention completely. The only thing wrong was it ended too soon, LOL. Deb h, Texas
