The Internet is the private investigator’s mean streets of old. Our nickname of gumshoe is outdated. We should be called creepers or googlers or dark web surfers.

I don’t want to kill Sammy Sykes. It’s something I feel I have to do. Like getting a crown at the dentist. Or talking to the other parents at Evelyn’s school.

It’s amazing how polite even the most despicable people can be when they want something.

The subconscious is my favorite of the consciences. That part of our brains where the real work gets done. Where our little voice comes from, as if the subconscious is a separate person. A wiser person. More observant. More sensitive. But a bit secretive— it doesn’t always want to tell us what it knows.

But meeting Casey the way I did reminds me of the gifts that life offers. Tiny miracles that can grow into the keystones of one’s life. We’re surrounded by them. It’s just a matter of choosing the right ones and nurturing them to their potential.

My Review:

 

I have been remiss in my reading research, as for shame, this was my first time to pick up a Matt Goldman missive. But I plan to rectify my sloth and make reading his clever arrangements of words a regular habit. His characters were strong and thoughtfully constructed, while also vulnerable and endearingly flawed. I enjoyed the odyssey of their storyline development while this wily scribbler perceptively peeled back the layers to their gooey center. The man has mad skills and exceptional word voodoo.
