review 1: This review is from: The Trees Beyond the Grass (Paperback)The author gifted me a copy of his book in exchange for an honest review, which I promised to write, in my own time. Robert Reeves said he was in no hurry, but once I began reading, I was the one who was racing to finish the story. I resented all the tasks and chores that took me away from reading 'The Trees Beyond the Grass'.Cole Muzon works in Denver and returns to Charleston, his hometown to visit his adopted parents, his grandmother, his sister and her son, to whom he is very attached. He is perplexed and on guard when he is warned that someone is out to kill him. He searches his mind to see if he has wronged anyone, but is unable to find a reason for someone wanting to murder him.From a bunch of old computer f... moreiles, he learns that he and Mark, (a boy a little older than him) were kidnapped as infants, when they were abducted from home together with his mother, and of her death provoked from violence while they were hiding under the trees. It was a few days before they were found, starving and crying over her body. Now he understands the reason for his recurrent nightmare.Meanwhile, the FBI and local police are brain-racked over two murders, both involving the removal of a patch of skin on the rear hip, with a branding of a 'P'. The FBI and police hunt for the assassin before he or she can reach Cole Muzon, who is the next victim. Agent Leas, from Atlanta, is asked to collaborate in the search. He does all he can to protect Muzon and locate the murderer. The only clues are notes signed with a 'P', for Poinsett. But who is Poinsett? You will be left guessing and utterly surprised until it is revealed at the very end of the novel, which makes this book impossible to put down.There are many interesting characters in the book, especially that of Cole Muzon, his sister and MeMe. His love for Charleston and descriptions of old haunts he frequented before moving to Denver, allow you an inside view of these places, to better connect with the story.A few of the many things I appreciated in this book were, the short chapters for shift of scene, frequent, 'chatty' dialogue between friends and family, and some essential History into the past and present of Charleston and its inhabitants.If you are looking for an engaging thriller, then this is the book for you.
review 2: What can I say, I love a good mystery. I like to challenge myself to figure out the killer before I'm supposed to. The thing about this book, is that it's so much more than that. This book is about family, self-defense (in every sense) and the south. Charleston becomes a character in this book and I loved learning all the little bits of history. It was a very similar read to The Garden of Good and Evil. I loved it, a very different and refreshing read for me. Can't wait for the one! less
