Different and Dangerous

       Eddy Turner and his best friend Scott, both with ESP talents, are planning a fun weekend at a family reunion in the Big Thicket area of East Texas. Scott's reoccurring visions of a hangman's noose is a threat Eddy wants to avoid thinking about.  Is the noose a warning for Scott or for him. Or is it for someone else? When will they know?  When will the axe fall?
       The pickup is loaded with food, camping gear, clothes, and fishing gear, but illness and storms of weather and emotion have a way of disrupting their best laid plans.
       Can a man who feels he must die be saved? Will a story heard years ago, an almost forgotten story, be the key to reaching a tormented, harassed individual? Will help come in time to prevent the faces and voices from pushing the victim over the edge and into death? by Galand Nuchols holds the answer.

The Girl on the Train



      The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins gets off to confusing start with the narrator imagining the names and lives of people she sees from the train as she rides each day to and from her make-believe job in a nearby city.
       Once the reader gets a grip on the pattern of Ms. Hwkins’ writing style and how she moves from one character’s view to another, the reader will find this novel fascinating.
       Rachel’s fear and depression works its way into the mind of the reader, letting her/him experience, as close as possible, the character’s pain and worry. Questions plague Rachel as she tries to remember how she was injured and why she has blood on her clothes.
       I can truthfully recommend this book, but be prepared to take notes, at least mentally, of who and what is happening in the first couple of chapters. The end knocked this reader for a loop. I just wasn’t prepared for it.
