Violence
Timothy McDougall's first novel takes us through a maelstrom of emotion,
adventure, chaos, and retaliation. Noel Anderson is
a successful average Joe with a vaguely troubled past whose life is
ripped apart when violence destroys his family and everything he has
worked towards. A weak justice system, impossible odds, and the short
end of the stick seem to greet him at every turn. As his life is forced
to continue whether or not his heart is ready, Noel, finds himself
alone, lost, and confused. Or is he? Detectives following several cases
related to the loss of his family seem to think a series of bloody
crimes committed years later may be the work of Noel's vigilante
justice. An action packed, breath-stealing ending leaves readers
wanting this broken man to find love, happiness, and harmony again.
Find out if he succeeds in Violence.
A fresh book
with excellent character development, riveting action scenes that leave
very little to the reader's imagination, and attention to detail
surrounding every new topic. This book will be enjoyed by many, but
especially the under twenty-five set who look forward to a
video-game-style background story come to life. A non-linear timeline
would have really made this book outstanding, but overall, and excellent
first novel. Looking forward to more. Three out of five stars!
