Review of JTs World
JT’s World is the last book in the western series of John Thurgood Thomas, written by E. Alan Fleischauer. The book is based on the culture of the Wild West. It follows J.T. Thomas, a rich man who has as many enemies as friends, and the mysteries and hardships of his world. It is a western thriller packed with suspense, mystery, and cowboys.
On the opening night of JT’s World, an amusement park just outside of Scottsdale, Arizona, Mika, the performer for the night, turns up dead in the bowling alley. Her gruesome death precedes more horrendous murders. After the murder, JT is advised by his ward, Madeline, to go on a vacation to Colorado to cool off. While in transit there, he valiantly helps some towns fight crime. Will JT unravel the mysteries surrounding these deaths?
I have followed this series since the first book, Rescued, and it is great to see how far JT has come. Everything followed an order, and all the mysteries were unraveled at the perfect moments. This last installment of the series had everything that Fleischauer’s books are known for: mystery, suspense, love, fear, sexy scenes, unexpected twists and turns, lovable characters, and a dangerous plot.
The characters were developed perfectly. Their emotions of both sadness and happiness and the actions they take based on these emotions are understandable and relatable for that time in the world. Another thing I liked was that the book flowed perfectly; the pace was not too fast or too slow. It was symmetrical, perfectly balanced, and blended. The author did a great job in the description of the book, making everything vivid in the reader’s mind.
One thing I liked was how well the author expressed the level of death, darkness, and grime in this book, making it more believable. Some authors find doing this difficult, but Fleischauer does not. The way they were expressed was so vivid that it made some parts of the book feel dirty and too dark. The darkness in this was not so great that it consumed the whole book; it was perfectly balanced with light. I’m so happy that JT fell in love with Jessica; he deserves it.
There was nothing I disliked in this novel. I rate this book five out of five stars. The book seems to have been professionally and exceptionally edited, as I discovered no grammatical errors. The book was well written. As the book contains sexual scenes and uses strong language, it is not suited for a younger audience and should only be read by readers 18 and above. I recommend this book to anyone interested in midwestern thrillers.
