Seasons of Death by Marlene Mitchell and Gary Yeagle
This mystery features a small town cop as the main protagonist. Grant Denlinger is a young man pondering his future in law enforcement while faced with the antagonism of his red necked Chief. Grant is thrust into a series of grisly murders that are totally out of character for his small town.
The authors start the book with a graphic depiction that tends to turn the stomach. It certainly captures your attention. The story doesn’t start slowly,...more

For the most part, “Seasons of Death” seems to have nothing to do with the book’s synopsis. I was expecting the book to be nearly entirely about seeking revenge for the death of the killer’s parents. Instead it’s about an animal rights activist seeking to avenge harm done to animals and the ensuing police procedural. If not for the police procedural, the book would be a near bust.

This was almost a good read but several things bothered me. There was a continuity problem. For example, Grant, the good cop, drives his police cruiser to a crime scene but leaves in his personal Jeep. The included love story needed to be developed. It became important to the story but did not seem important enough to write about in more detail. The ending was not very good. It seemed to say, "the author is tired of this story so let's get it done." It also needed a proof reader. There were obvi...more
This book had me whirling in circles. I did enjoy the story a lot, but my college English Professor would be rolling in her grave if she read any of this, plus anyone alive would choke on the extra commas and apostrophes. About halfway thru the story and after looking over some of the other reviews, I went looking for a picture of the author and couldn't find one. Finally today I found one and she looks like someone's grandmother. A very demented grandmother. This is a good story and could be gr...more
The plot premise, an animal rights activist avenging the abuse of animals seemed something that would interest me but I had some difficulty with this book.
The characterizations seemed somewhat lacking with quite a few of the supporting characters feeling more like 'stock southern small town' characters rather than real people. The romance didn't quite seem reasonable, particularly the 'triangle' introduced and the ongoing references to religious beliefs felt awkward rather than an integral part...more

This is another book I got for free and I'm very glad I read it. I really liked the story, although the first murder scene was almost too gruesome for me to continue. I'm glad I did though, because the characters were interesting and believable.
My only complaint is that that editing was a bit sloppy.
