Crosshairs - A Review




Crosshairs

A Review

After reading Patricia Bradley’s previous book in the “Natchez Trace Park Rangers” series, I had put the Natchez Trace on my bucket list. Given the number of murders and other events in the first five of 71 chapters of her most recent faith-based book, I am not so sure:
  1. Assault of a 94-year-old woman in her home
  2. Theft of a 150-year-old diary
  3. Death of a 16-year-old out behind the old Methodist church
  4. A tornado that swept through part of the county
  5. Illegal marijuana sales
Nope, not sure I want to visit.

Having said that, the crimes and writing did hold this readers attention. When the local sheriff, the Investigative Services Bureau of the National Park Service, and the FBI, are all involved in the mess that defined the Trace that week, things do get interesting. The mix of crimes, law enforcement agencies, and characters, easily make for a 5-star book.
