Lawson's Bluff Blog Tour: Book Review + Giveaway

 **I received a complimentary copy of this book for consideration. All thoughts are my own. 



About the Book

 


Book:  Lawson’s Bluff

Author: Jeff Barganier

Genre: Contemporary action and adventure, contemporary romance

Release date: March 13, 20201

Terrorists attempt a multi-million-dollar art heist while America’s media distracts the world with stories of Alabama hunters slaughtering hogs with dogs and knives. As fearless Jack Lawson is about to catch his thousandth boar, journalist Carla Frederick arrives to cover the hunt for the LA World News. Shocked by the uncivilized Alabamians with their bulldogs and razor-sharp knives, Frederick writes a grotesque, biased story about Jack that goes viral. Belatedly, she discovers the deeper story—deeper and darker than she could have ever known. Barganier has written an unlikely love story wrapped in twisting suspense.

More from Jeff

I didn’t “come up” with the idea for Lawson’s Bluff. The idea found me after I published a piece about a hunter in Georgia who hunts wild boars with dogs and a knife. Like character Jack Lawson, he never carries a gun, preferring, instead, to tackle the hog and slay it the old-fashioned way. So, as with previous novels, I didn’t write this one either. The story wrote me. I had no clue where the story was going until informed … by the story. This approach is what makes life interesting, I think. And what makes novels interesting, too—twisting action and romance in unpredictable settings.

My Thoughts

Let's just go ahead and state the obvious here... this book is about hunting pigs and definitely takes on a political tone throughout the story... and as a vegetarian who gets more than a little anxious at the mention of political topics, well, I just don't think I'm quite the target audience that the author had in mind while writing. As one could imagine, this wasn't the easiest book for me to really get into. 

That said, despite not being my personal cup of tea, I could tell that the author created a really unique story that I am certain that many readers who ARE more into that type of that story will certainly appreciate. It was full of suspense and will keep readers turning the pages to see what will happen next. If you enjoy suspense and are looking for something a little different, this is certainly one worth checking out for yourself.

  4. I can see why this would not be your cup of tea! I'm not interested in politics, but my sons are really into hunting, so that part would appeal to me.
