In her mind anyway, she brings them back to life, she also knows they are still very dead. Her knowledge of trains & the Hobo culture, symbols they use to mark places, that are deemed safe or not safe to camp in, all made for an interesting read. Although gruesome in parts, it was not over done. The story moved quickly and had lots of action. I liked Agent Parnell and loved her ex military dog and partner Clyde, because this was a first book, I think more background was given to explain what she did in the war & how she got Clyde. I'll look for more books in this series.  |
I appreciate the review. This has pushed me off the fence--the book is not for me. I was tempted because of the dog, but it seems to have just too many elements that I wouldn't like. Thanks!
