This was a crazy ride. Lester and Willie, both were able to see the inner lives and truths of everyone they met and worked for. From the drunken preacher, the sad housewife, and the crazed citizens. Finally they saw the truth of Mr. Luther Nedeed himself and I’m sure it was nothing they left unseen. Naylor put you in the story. My favorite part of this book was the funeral scene, I was laughing out loud. Things are never what they see from the outside, sometimes you get a better view from the inside. 

As I’m moving my way through Naylors catalog, this is my second book.
