A Deeper Look at Life’s Foibles
Those who are well-acquainted with mysteries may be interested in this mystery-to-literary fiction spin-off. J.D. Carpenter, author of the Campbell Young mysteries, takes us on a different journey with Priam Harvey, a character that occasionally steps into the spotlight throughout the Campbell Young mysteries. This time around, we focus on Mr. Harvey himself, an unemployed former racetrack writer who struggles to turn his life around.
For those who are not as keen on literary fiction (like myself), perhaps the fact that two local newspapers had good things to say about Carpenter’s latest work may encourage you to take a peek into Twelve Trees:
“A beautifully written but coldly realistic tale of an empty life unfolds in this novel.” — Carol Ross Williamson, The Guelph Mercury
“Carpenter has skillfully brought together an array of dysfunctional characters and blends them together into a seamless and believable story which engages the reader form[sic] beginning to end.” — Joel Nash, The Intelligencer
