Baer Creighton #6
The Men I Sent Forward
Picking up the story with Baer on the road to North Carolina and Tat and Corazon in the motel with the hot tub, disaster is moments away.
Baer 6 is packed with more action, wit, and destruction than any book in the series so far. It's more brutal, more funny, more heartbreaking, and more enlightening. I hope you find as much enjoyment in the reading as I did in the writing.

Sick story about sick people. No plot or direction, senseless killings for the sake of killing. Terrible narrator

A little confusing, but still a good read
I'm hoping that this is a transitional book, that sets the stage for future books in the series, but with less mumbo jumbo about the the metaphysical!

this gritty fiction is reality in dialect ...the way Jesus was working class man... working through and to his divinity
Most of my reads are mysteries which allow my mind to shut away itself...a literate idiot box, if you will. They do present truths and values but in a formulaic manner. This book is anything but. It made my head hurt as it spoke to my heart/soul. Sometimes fiction is more real than reality. Like Charlie Brown and BC and Sgt. Rock and Pogo. This is one to read and digest, not race to the next.

Saying I 'read' this book is a stretch. It was a Book Club pick, and I read the first 20% and found it a miserable experience. I hopscotched through the rest of the book to be somewhat familiar with it for the meeting. At the Book Club meeting, we discussed the factors that made the book so unappealing: the incessant use of the rural vernacular and the serial killing theme. Given the excellent reviews here on Goodreader, I guess some folks like this rural noir genre.

Wonderful twist with Baer looking deep within
I wrote that book 5 was sometimes a little confusing. Shifting from present to Baers past.
Well I again suggest you start with book 1.
Through a coincidence (are their really any coincidences??) Baer meets a women who causes him to completely change his view of himself and humanity. She is referred to as"CHICAGO MAGS."
Clayton Lindemuth has once again surprised me and provide another wonderful book.

My favorite
I devoured this book. I wanted to take time and enjoy it, and I enjoyed it, but read it too fast. I loved the conversations with Chicago Mags. This one is probably my favorite one yet, but they’re all excellent.
I don’t think I can wait a year for the next one, but it’s not really up to me...

Baer is awesome!
I grew up in NC and can relate with his character in many ways. Family, honor, love, doing the right thing even when it may not be the legal way, for example making shine to earn a living.

Definitely a must read series.
I have read all of the Baer Creighton series to date (6 so far), and thoroughly enjoyed each one. Definitely recommend this series, as well as Lindemuth’s other books.

Wow
I really enjoyed this book for the most part. Got a little strange with the mags lady. Way over my head n I didn’t like it a bit so mostly just skipped over that part. All in all though it was a decent read

For all who believe in an eye for an eye
Baer never disappoints or Clayton. Long on philosophy and gritty action. You gotta love a man who talks to his dog and who hears his dog talk back.

Another good one
Another good read by Mr. Lindemuth. Already looking forward to his next book. Good against evil in a way that is rough but fair.

Bad A$$ Baer
All I can say is WOW. Anonymous super tale by Clayton. Rather enlightening, all that talk about the “hereafter “. The morale of these stories, Don’t F with Baer.

I didn't enjoy this book in the series as much as the first 5. Too much psychology for me.

This book was a bit more introspective than the others. It had more critical thinking than I’d imagine but still a good read

Gets Better and Better!
Who would have thought that existentialism would come from a hillbilly. Helps me feel a little less stupid. LOL
Such great read.
