A Small Town
Mystery Press
9780802148063
It started with a complexly orchestrated prison break releasing 1200 inmates who murdered the entire prison
staff. They went on to raid a small town nearly destroying it and the lives of its
citizens. Then there was a take-no-prisoners manhunt for the twelve who
masterminded the escape. All this created a story full of action and
entertainment.
Leah Hawkins, the central
character who single-handed pursued the twelve men was well crafted. She
carried out the task assigned to her by the city council with intelligence and
skill. It appears that this is a stand-alone novel. I was hoping that it was
the beginning of a series. Leah was such a strong and engaging woman that I
hoped it was the beginning of a series with her as the lead.
I’ve read and enjoyed other novels
by Thomas Perry. This one encourages me to read the ones I have missed. I thank
the author for the entertaining hours I spent with A Small Town.
