Overview

The biggest thing to happen to Skary, Indiana, is renowned horror novelist Wolfe Boone, "Boo", as the locals fondly call him. For the past 16 years, the reclusive writer has been the towns greatest attraction, having unintentionally turned the once struggling Skary into a thriving tourist trap for the dark side. But when a newly reformed Wolfe suddenly quits the genre and subsequently starts to pursue Skary's favorite girl-next-door, Ainsley Parker, the little town becomes truly horrified. Soon, a scheme is plotted to put the fright back into Skary, and get their most famous resident out of love and back into the thrill business. Filled with humor, small town charm, and a gentle message of enduring faith, BOO shows how even the most colorful group of busybodies and hypocrites can become a community changed forever by God.

I thought this was a great listen/read; the characters come to life quite quickly and I found it easy to get settle in the town and people, some really aggravating me ..which is a sign of a good book to me. So wonderful to not have to deal with profanity, trash and jumping in and out of bed...you get the gist. I gave only three stars because the mystery was lacking; not a page turner at all but I would try another book by this author. Christian mystery/suspense are so wonderful and so many out there now SB needs to get more. But they have the best selection of any online audios so this is where I can stay to listen for awhile.

Pretty terrible! I didn't know that this was an "uplifting Christian book". This may be a good book for a 14 year old in a bible study class, but it doesn't belong with adult suspense and mystery selections.
