Title: The Rented Mule
Author: BobbyCole
Review:
An excellent story set in the Montgomery
Alabama vicinity. It involves a cast of characters which could be found in most
communities. I think that this alone makes for an enjoyable read. The main
character, Cooper Dixon, is a man conflicted with several problems who sees the
real truth while solving, and rescuing, his wife Kelly who has been kidnapped.
There are several villains involved, some who are loveable, some who are
clueless, and some who are downright nasty. But the author is able to bring
them together in a great story. Must also comment on the sage advise given by
Cooper's old family housekeeper near the end. This is advise that should be
followed by everyone be they newly married or married for a long time.
I rate this book at five stars and would read other offerings
by this author.
Thanks go to Frank for this review.

Synopsis: Cooper
Dixon should have it made, with a beautiful wife, Kelly, two great kids, and a
thriving business, the Tower Agency. But for Cooper, things aren't turning out
how he expected. He and Kelly are caught in a never-ending cycle of arguments? Cooper can't remember the last time they had
sex. And Cooper's troubled business partner, Gates Ballenger, is scheming to
sell the Tower Agency out from under him.
When a gang of criminals
is hired by a mysterious client to kidnap Kelly and set up Cooper to take the
fall, Cooper's life goes completely off the rails. The cops quickly zero in on
Cooper as the prime suspect, and the combination of an attractive suburban
mother, workaholic husband, and a million-dollar insurance policy makes the case
primetime television fodder.
Soon, Cooper's face is
plastered on every TV screen in the country. Cooper races against time to find
his wife before the gang turns her over to their client, whose plan to take
down Cooper is far more sinister than anyone could imagine.
