Fiction you could see being reality!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Enforcer to be better than the print version?

I typically prefer print over audio becuase I have issues with the narrator attempting to use various voices for various characters. This one is well-done, but no different, although I may have been a bit more critical since I am from the area where this is set. My family is from Harpers Ferry. I was not offended by any choices made in voices utilized, but it just seemed awkward at times. This is the way I feel on most audio books, so it is not the fault of the author, narrator or anyone else.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Millie! LOL! I love dogs! Otherwise I really liked Toby because of his sense of humor (the T-Shirts were fun!) and the fact he was not over-the-top in abilities. He seemed real.

Which scene was your favorite?

When they ran off the road in the Suburban. Dillon opening up. I cried! I'm a cryer, though! And the scene with the dove on the window sill - I loved the relationship to the situation. Very well done!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

When the world gives you apples, make cider!

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I read it in the print version and thoroughly enjoyed it in that format, too. I have read this series, and many, or all, of Marliss Melton's books and would highly recommend them. This story was not so over-the-top that it could not have played out the way it was as written. When I read I have to, at times, stop myself from being critical of the minor details or liberties taken by the authors. I found myself having to do this a tad more often than usual with this book since I am from this area and my father was a sheriff where this story is set. That's one of those minor details I had to keep pulling myself away from - we don't have city/town sheriff's, rather it is a county position. We have Chief of Police positions for the towns in both counties where this story takes place - Jefferson and Berkeley. On the flip side of this 'issue' is the fact you mention details in the area and I can just picture where you are, what the view looks like (Jefferson Rock for example), smaller communities in the area, and so on. Then I go back to wondering why the VA Hospital police weren't involved in Dillon's issues as they played out at the hospital, and again I pull myself away from that logic to keep the story going and fact this all helps to develop Dillon's character. I am very happy that the often typical negetive stereotyping of WV and the residents was not utilized. And for the most part you showed us as intellegent, decent people and I thank you for that. Eventhough the militia thing could have gone in the weeds, you kept it from doing so. The fact you keep your characters real and don't play into the stereotypes is another reason I enjoy your books and will keep purchasing them and recommending them to others.
