Somewhere Over Lorain Road
by Bud Gundy
For more than forty years, the stain of horrific allegations against their father has haunted the Esker sons. When three little boys were murdered in 1975, their dad was suspected of the crimes. The immense strain of the unsolved case shattered the family, sending the brothers reeling into destinies of death, flight, and, in the case of Don Esker, shame-filled silence.
Years later, Don returns to the family home in North Homestead, Ohio, to help care for his dying father in his final months. His dad longs for the peace that will only come with clearing his name. If Don can find the killer, he can heal his family—and himself. His own redemption begins when he becomes romantically involved with Bruce, who joins the hunt and forces Don to confront the unthinkable answer they’ve uncovered.

I have to say I was completely surprised by this book. I expected a mystery and I got that. I also expected some romance and I got that too. What I didn't expect was to be so caught up in this story that I couldn't put it down. This is not an edge of your seat, action packed crime mystery. In fact, it pulls a reader in little by little with the narrator's perspective of crimes that took place four decades ago and how the aftermath of those crimes affected our amateur sleuth and his family. I won't go into all the details so as not to give spoilers because there is quite the twist in the conclusion. What I will say is that this is a wonderfully written tale that flows seamlessly between past and present, drawing the reader into Don's world. It is a mystery, but it's so much more than that. The author has woven a thoroughly compelling story of family, friendship, love, regrets, loss, and forgiveness.
