Poetic Justice: A Rascal Todd Mystery Featuring Brody Thompson by Dan Antion
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m sorry it took so long to get through this. It was the only book I was trying to actually read. I do so much better with audiobooks. I tried to set up the Kindle text-to-speech, but it didn’t bring up the voice I usually choose. I didn’t like the voice that came up, and I didn’t want to fiddle around to find it. So I made this book be for eyes only. Little by little, I finished the book. And even then, the story held together, and I found a lot I loved about it.

This is based on a topic I have second-hand knowledge about. The way Viet Nam Vets were treated by the government and personally. My husband has a lot of PTSD and health issues that were the result of what happened there. So I was personally involved in the story. I never seemed to lose the thread the book was pursuing.

I loved the poetry written by the homeless person pointing to the wrongs done.

I absolutely loved the author, Brody, as he tackled the story from the points of view of an amateur detective and an author.

The author of the book, Dan Antoin, and his cohort, Willow Willers(Willowdot21), are both blogging friends of mine. I love the job they did with this story.

I could tell that I was late getting into a series, but the book holds together quite well, even though I don’t have the characters down since book one, but I can see there is history here.

If I get to the series, I think I will try to find audiobooks so I can feel the personalities more deeply.
