The Digby Lake Killer Book

Imagine being a bank robber in the Depression era. Never mind right now what factors in life turned you to crime, you are a bank robber. A famous one: a hero to the poor people who have lost their jobs, a villain to the representatives of law and order. As if there could be very much of that in these terrible years!

But then one day you wake up dead. Well, you wake up after being shot dead. You and your brother both. And neither of you remembers how you died. You just know that you have to get out of the police morgue you find yourself in, and you have to try to figure out what happened, because you have no memory of the actual dying.

This is how we first meet Jason Fireson and his brother Whit. And other than the usual WTF moments they have during their first re-awakening, the most puzzling question they had for each other was: "What are we going to tell Ma?"

This was a great story: from the opening scenes to the slow revealing of the family life and circumstances that led to these events, right up to the end where we all finally learn WHY. I stayed up way too late last night to find that out but it was worth it!

I have read three Thomas Mullen titles now and will be eagerly watching for more.
