Hello kids, miss me?
Hello kids, miss me?
If a coming of age story set in the
woods of North Carolina with murder and mayhem thrown in is your cup
of tea, then this book is for you.
Midnight Rain starts off by introducing
us to 12 year old Kyle Mackey. His favorite past time is riding his
bike, Burner, in the woods and spending time in a deserted cabin,
perfect for alone time.
But that all comes to a screeching halt
one month after he witnesses the death of Cassandra Belle Rourke in
his cabin. It's violent and bloody. Kyle puts two and two together
and knows who did it...but who will believe him? He struggles with
what to do and when to do it, and ends up taking matters into his own
hands.
Newman has you firmly perched in Kyle's pocket every step of the way as he wrestles with what he's seen. The rain is almost a secondary character in the story and I swear I felt a little water logged by the ending.

If the trade edition or Kindle edition
are not to your liking, you may find Midnight Rain in a used
bookstore in a mass market edition as Leisure, the original
publisher, is no more.
James Newman however, goes on. He's been writing for a while and deserves a wider audience. I've got one of his short story collections, People Are Strange... oh yes...you bet they are.
Go check Mr. Newman out, as he keeps getting better with each book.
