BLOG TOUR STOP #6 – DAN ANTION

Hello, fellow travelers. Today, we’re going east to visit with Dan Antion. Come on along.

I am a fan of Dan’s entertaining blog site where he shares his photographs and bunnies. 🙂 But Dan is also an author and his latest book was a fantastic collaboration with poet, Willow Willers. !

MY REVIEW FROM LAST YEAR:

I enjoyed seeing some of the same characters in this story that I met in the previous book, “Bridge To Nowhere.” It was like visiting with old friends at the newspaper office. But the major characters in this story are new. I immediately liked bestselling crime writer, Brody Thompson. Up until now, he’s only written murder mysteries, not been involved in one.
But he can’t resist the intrigue of solving a real crime, and offers to help Trevor find out who had murdered his father. There are a lot of breadcrumbs to follow throughout the story and each one reveals a new possibility. Another character I enjoyed meeting was Trevor’s mother, Arlene, who has a plethora of secrets to protect. I won’t share what they are, but will tell you she is a strong character with an even stronger motivation for all the lies.

But the most intriguing and mysterious character is simply known as The Poet. He is a complex character. His poems are honest and disturbing with strong messages for those who exploit others. He focuses most of his poems on the Viet Nam war and how the soldiers were used a guinea pigs for testing of chemicals such as agent orange. The poems are impassioned and Willow did a great job creating them. They add so much to the depth of the story.
At one point, I thought I’d figured who the bad guys were, only to be disappointed that I wasn’t right. The author did a great job of keeping me guessing. The stakes are high, and there are a lot of players at the table. If you’re a fan of murder mysteries with intriguing characters, you are sure to enjoy Dan and Willow’s new collaboration.
