I thought Ransom’s Law by author David Johnson was terrific. Eleven-year-old Junior, the main character, really looks up to his father (Roscoe Ransom) and thinks he is the best. Roscoe is back from World War I and has also lost his wife, leading to a drinking problem. Junior has another problem after overhearing some news of a local murder. This novel was captivating, absorbing, and warmhearted, and the characters were grand. Narrator Gary Bennett was perfect.
