Cellar Full of Cole by Michael Maxwell
This story was a bit scary for me, not my typical genre but really like all the things going on, the things that are important to Cole.
His boss is leaving due to cancer returning but he still goes into the office. Cole visits his daughter and family in CA and he is offered a job there if he wants it, at The Sentinel.
Things go smoothly til they don't. His friend has family troubles and he talks to the family and even the brother who wants them to turn over their half of the land their mother had left them both.
Story also follows Philip who's a child molester- this was the hardest part for me to read about. Cole wants to shed light on the subject and even does research by attending a meeting of survivors.
He's on the lead of the culprit when a woman who's HR mentions about the man's lovely hands and that is a clue he is able to comprehend as the little girl had said the same thing...
Just when you think the story is over as he's apprehended Cole addresses his friends brother again... things don't quite go well...
Love how he keeps his mind about things by recalling alphabetically songs and the lyrics, so many of which I also know from my favorite singers. Rat scene was not as bad as the molester.
He gets amped up when he hears the hot water and investigates it and the pipes and a plan forms...
Others are worried about him and his rental car and they do all they can to find him....
Scary moments for me as he recalls a memory from the war and others are killed...
It’s a toss up as to who will win this battle and come out of it.
Excerpt of the next book is included at the end.
Love mysteries, travel, caring of family and very close friends, learning new words and things: survivor meeting, tech he knows of hot water heater and gas combining and how close he gets to freedom..
This book really took me away from my own problems, another treasure of people he mentions in song or lyrics or name only.
About the author and his other works are listed at the very end.
