About the Book

Book:  Lawson’s Bluff

Author: Jeff Barganier

Genre: Contemporary action and adventure, contemporary romance

Release date: March 13, 20201

lawsonTerrorists 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.

I am not sure how I feel about this book , there are parts I like and others I didn't like. I believe this novel is trying to make political points and I admit to not knowing much about political issues. If a reader just reads this book to be entertained than I think they might enjoy the book. I didn't like the all the talk about the killing of the hogs but the book is about what Jack Lawson does. So it fits the book. 

This book also has romance and the ending sure was a surprise. The ending also left me thinking there might be another one coming! No. the author didn't hint of one. But the book left me feeling that more could be coming!

I really like this quote from the book because it is something I am trying to remember for myself "But remember this, if you're concerned about what other people think about you, you'll forever be trying to be the person you think they want you to be, rather than being the person you are."

I was given a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

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.
