The Ocoosa County Burden
Arthur H. Heath Virtualbookworm.com Publishing Inc P.O. Box 9949, College Station TX 77842 9781602640061 $15.95 www.heathbooks.net www.virtualbookworm.com This novel that reads a bit like Stuart Woods "Chiefs" is a very well done murder mystery. Loretta Carmichael a pediatric nurse from Atlanta, stumbles upon a set of deaths that date back to the Civil War. She becomes involved in a series of situations that could get her killed. The story is well written spanning so many years, while the characters are very well defined. From its opening murder in 1905 the tale moves along briskly until its surprising ending in which Loretta learns what the truth of the Ocoosa County burden is. The author captures the emotional trauma and feelings women have in the stressful situations they are under. This book also reads like an early Dean Koontz or Stephen King. I look forward to other works by this writer in the future.
