Shepherd’s Fall by W.L. Dyson

shepherds-fall.JPGShepherd’s Fall opens strong with Nick Shepherd, bounty hunter and oldest of the Shepherd siblings, trying to play the hero. Unfortunately, things don’t work out how he planned and his life starts to spin out of control. Eight months later his teenage daughter is in rebellion, and he’s no closer to saving the family business, Prodigal Fugitive Recover. His ex-wife isn’t making his life any easier, and there seems no chance of reconciliation, though he never wanted a divorce in the first place. Add to the mix a woman dying of cancer who looks just like the skip Nick is after, a threat to his daughter, and an escaped felon and you’re in for a ride!

With well developed characters that make you care about their lives, W.L. Dyson has woven a tale of intrigue, heartache, and reconciliation. Nick’s faith and life has been shattered, but he slowly finds his way back to God and his family. I’m a huge suspense fan, and at times the family dynamics kept me more interested than the suspense itself. And though I felt the black moment could have been stronger and that things tied up too neatly for me in the end, I’m excited to see the next book in the series which will focus on Nick’s younger brother. Then maybe we’ll get a look into the life of Marti, the wayward sister. I’m really looking forward to that one, so keep writing W.L. Dyson!

Shepherd’s Fall definitely kept me turning the page and it’s a perfect read for those who like to mix great characterization with their suspense.
