Book Review: Rough Way to the Highway by Kelly Mack McCoy

Robert, better known as “Mack,” an aging pastor newly turned trucker, has a fairly easy job for his first run. He needs to deliver a refrigerated container of beef to a warehouse in Chicago. But shady characters are moving behind the scenes and there’s more than just swinging meat in that trailer. One thing leads to another, and the simple northward run turns into the trip of a lifetime, and nearly costs Mack his life—more than once.

Rough Way to the Highway is a bit of everything—a travelogue, a mystery thriller, a sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant character study. While both story-telling and writing style could use some polish, as is to be expected from a first novel (the author tends to ramble at times, and some of the mystery elements remain so vague as to be confusing even to the end) overall, Rough Way to the Highway is an entertaining “All-American” read, with the ring of authenticity when it comes to descriptions of truck driving and scenes on the road. If you’re interested in giving it a try, the book is available on Amazon HERE.
