If you are looking for a novel full of suspense, then Don Hoesel's "Hunter's Moon" is a must read for you. The main character, CJ Baxter, returns to his family home in Adelia, NY after being away for seventeen years. He returns only because his grandfather, his favorite family member, has passed away.
When CJ left Adelia, he vowed to never return and he carried with him a deep family secret. Since leaving, he has become a successful novelist with all his stories coming from his own life. As he returns to Adelia, CJ not only has to deal with his grandfather's funeral, he has to decide what he is going to do with this secret he has been carrying. He knows that if the secret is revealed, it could potentially bring down his entire family and ruin his brother's chance at winning a US Senate seat. What happens next will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Hunter's Moon was an excellent read. This was my first book to read by Don Hoesel and it will not be my last. The author spends a lot of time on character development in those first few chapters which makes the book a little hard to get into and keep up with all the different people. But once you make it through those chapters, the book will pull you into the story and you will be anxiously reading to find out what happens next.
This book was sent to me by Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review blogger program. I received a free copy of this book to review.
