A Field of Red

Frank is a retired cop, an alcoholic, and a man trying to reconnect with his adult daughter. He travels to a small Ohio town to visit his daughter and while there becomes involved in a kidnapping case with the local police department. As he continued to work on the case I found myself liking him more and wishing for a better life for him and his daughter. I enjoyed the story and plan to read more by this author. An added bonus of this story, and what may have made it more interesting, is that the town of Coopers Mill is based on the town of Tipp City which is just a town over from me. The references to many activities, landmarks, and other locations made the story even more vivid since I was able to picture exactly what the author was show more describing. show less

I enjoyed this book. As I neared the end, I desperately wanted to finish it but was so tired I had to wait till the next day. I did not guess who the baddie was. I liked the main character; he was making an effort to pull his life together. I noticed very little bad editing, as mentioned by another reviewer, as I was so caught up in the story the occasional missed "a" did not matter.

Ex-cop Frank Harper is visiting Cooper's Mill, to try and mend the break with his daughter and grandson. But 2 young girls have disappeared and he is asked to help.
