Ransom’s Law
: David Johnson
This is the first time that I’ve listened to this author, but it won’t be the last.
This novel is a historical fiction set after WWI. Roscoe Ransom returns home injured and drowning his pain with whiskey. His eleven year old son wants his dads love and attention. Roscoe is a share cropper and the town’s sheriff. Roscoe’s wife died and he has to raise Junior on his own.
The town is filled with all kinds of characters from many ethnic groups, not to mention the KKK.
The inter-actions of the characters will have the listener loving some while despising others. The story flows along with a few twists that keep you intrigued. The ending was satisfying.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Gary Bennett’s voice is a good choice for this genre.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
