A review by donnek
The Devil's Country by Harry Hunsicker
5.0
While there was a certain aspect to this book that bothered me (I really dislike cult stories) and if I could have given it 4.5stars I would have. However, there were other parts that I really liked, hence the 5star rating.
The story and MC, Arlo Baines, had a kind of "Jack Reacher" feel to it. The whole "getting off the bus in some podunk town in west Texas because he was tired of being on the bus" and immediately finding himself in over his head in murder and mayhem and a boatload of nefarious characters (the dreaded "disciples" of yet another religious cult). There was also the revealing of Arlo's past and why he's drifting from one bus stop town to another.
As to be expected, Arlo kicks scumbag @$$ and walks away from town with the residents gratitude, a job offer (that he declines) and gets back on the next bus out of town. Yeah, I plan to continue with the series and Arlo's next excursion off the bus.
