Blind Tiger
UnCovered Review by Connie Blankenbuehler, ACLS Pleasantville Branch
Ms. Brown has again provided the reading public with a pleasurable read!
Blind Tiger takes you back in time to the Prohibition Era with moonshiners, a cowboy, questionable lawmen and civic personalities and, of course, a strong female character to twist the plot together.
Laurel Plummer finds herself relocated to Foley, Texas, and living with a father-in-law who did not know of her existence upon arrival. Together they partner to survive in hard times. A returning war soldier, Thatcher Hutton, in search of his previous cowboy life, comes to town. He immediately encounters Ms. Plummer and becomes the town suspect in a murder. Corrupt lawmen and other local personalities -who are all somehow involved with the flow of moonshine- contribute to a suspenseful, entertaining read.
