Set just outside Arizona, JTs World is a thriller with exciting twists and unexpected turns. It starts with a murder scene; this caught my attention and made me intrigued. Readers will find themselves immersed in the suspense of the murder. Who committed this murder? Why was this person killed?

The place, JT's world, is an interesting building. It houses a hotel, theatre, many carousels, a bowling alley, and some additional parts yet to be built. At the grand opening of JT's world, the dead body of the singer scheduled to perform, Mika Shipley, is discovered in the bowling alley. The people present in the place were John Thurgood Thomas, also known as JT Thomas, the owner of the complex, and his ward, Madeline, who was looking forward to seeing Mika perform. Also, by happenstance, a Scottsdale deputy named Deputy Matthews is present. Aaron Shipley's first reaction is to blame Billy Burnet because of his affair with his now-deceased wife. There is an interesting love triangle that exists between Mika, her husband, and their extra-marital affairs. Will these extra-marital relationships have an impact on the case of Mika's murder?

After confirming the death of the body, Deputy Matthews demands that no one leaves the building and proceeds to interview everyone present. The patron with an odd appearance happens to be Madeline's estranged father, Marcus Payne, who was convicted of killing her mother, Annabelle. He happened to be in Scottsdale by coincidence while on his quest to kill JT and his daughter, Madeline, who he thought was in Colorado. By another streak of coincidence, after eavesdropping on a conversation, he acquired tickets to the grand opening of JT's world. While sitting and waiting to be interviewed, Marcus reminiscences on the murder of the deceased and how he had mistaken her for Madeline. This was an unexpected turn. Does this mean the mystery has been solved?

JTs World is a well-written thriller novel. I liked how captivating and suspenseful it was. I was on my toes the entire time while reading it. I also liked the relatable dynamics in the relationships explored in this book. While reading it, I could see a relationship that was built on deceit and the resulting affair it produced. E. Alan Fleischauer did an amazing job exploring different themes in this book. I enjoyed reading it, and I didn't find any errors in it. It was perfectly edited. There was nothing to dislike about this book. I enjoyed the unexpected turns and twists I encountered. The storyline captivated me, and the narration couldn't have been better.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It was beautifully written and professionally edited. It was also captivating and suspenseful. I liked that it was not drawn out in a way that could be boring. Because I encountered no negative aspect, I have no reason to deduct a star.

I recommend this book to lovers of fiction and thriller books. If you like detective stories, you should enjoy reading this book.
