Loading... Down River (2007)by John Hart
Adam Chase has a violent streak, and for good reason. As a boy, he saw things no child should witness, suffered wounds that left him misunderstood. Even grown, he remains dangerous and unpredictable, so that when he narrowly beats a murder charge, he’s hounded out of town, exiled for a sin he did not commit. For five long years, he disappears. But now he’s back, and no one knows why. Attacked within hours of his return, the tone of his homecoming is set. As bodies turn up and the town rises in anger, Adam again finds himself in the fight of his life. (  ) jacki | Jan 7, 2013 |  Adam Chase has spent the last five years in New York City trying to erase his worst memories and move on with a new life. When he left North Carolina and its red soil, it was supposed to be for good. Now he must return, but being remembered as a murderer isn't making his homecoming any easier. (  ) jepeters333 | Dec 18, 2012 | An enjoyable thriller about Adam Chase, a 28 year-old who returns to his home town five years after being acquitted of a murder on his family's large farm and a trial in which his stepmother was the main witness for the prosecution. Unfortunately for Adam, trouble follows, and he soon find himself under suspicion all over again. This book kept me reading, there are sufficient players in the story to keep you guessing and it's well-written for the most part (though a bit florid in some places when it doesn't need to be). The variety of secrets and relationships are interesting too, but I was left feeling that the author tried just a little too hard? (  ) deargreenplace | Apr 28, 2012 | This book blew me away and the author is fast becoming one of my favorites. I was totally caught up in the lives of the characters and found myself wanting to throw myself into there lives and shake a couple of them by the roots of there hairs,give a few black eyes and gather a couple of them into a "it's gonna be okay" hug. Well written and completely edge of the seat all the way through till the end. ( ) justablondemoment | Apr 11, 2012 | John Hart has become one of my new favorite authors. I absolutely love the beautiful way that he writes, which is rare in the suspense/mystery genre. Of his four titles, this is not my favorite, but I still enjoyed it. It was a bit slower paced than his newer novels. The story revolves around Adam, and his family. There has been a falling out, and Adam has been gone for the past five years. When he returns home, several bodies surface, and Adam is trying to figure out how the people he used to know are involved. It is a great story of family and how you can grow apart and lose touch. It is also about trust, and having to choose between loved one's. ( ) Mathenam | Apr 2, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
