⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think this is Clayton’s best book, lots of stories within stories, but the narrative of the pain of running long distances is excellent. I used to run 10ks and the mental strain is worse than the physical strain. Solomon Bull is a close second to this for Clayton’s best. Great job…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was instantly immersed in this very different C.L. story. There was enough drama, (murder, abuse, betrayal, and even sadly suicide) to keep me turning the pages, but also a very personal and poignant layer of goodness and redemption that profoundly affected me.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As always Clayton’ stories are compelling. I make myself take breaks near the end just to prolong the intense suspense. His writing is the kind that makes me stop and reread sections because they are so profound. Love his books
