Animal Lovers' Warning (because I am one): A cat is injured, but his owner is caring and compassionate and gets him treatment. I did not find it offensive.
Before I write my review, I must reveal that I tend to dislike unrealistic police violence in a book. This book does have some of that. However, in having discussions with friends, I've come to realize that this seems to be what most readers want, so I will not take away a star for it as I'd originally intended. I recognize that writers need to give readers what they want.
The overblown police actions aside, the story line was good and I liked the main character. He was real and his flaws seemed natural, not forced by bizarre circumstances. In other words, I could relate to him.
I did think that his ten-year-old daughter seemed a tad too mature at times, but it's been some time since I had a lot of interaction with a ten-year-old, so maybe not.
I enjoyed the story and looked forward to my reading time each evening. I believe this was self-published, in which case it is a fine example that some authors who self-publish can write interesting stories with believable characters. It was well-formatted and well-written.
I will definitely be reading more of this author's work.
