Lake on the Mountain by Jeffrey Round

Audiobook – 5 stars
Story - 3.85 stars
“I don’t think that’s — am I really that complex?”
“No, you’re that simple.”
This was some good messy shit.
Our main MC is Dan Sharp. Dan is a P.I, he specializes in Missing Persons cases. I loved Dan from the moment I started this book. Dan is one complex character. He is an amazing single Dad, he acts without thinking sometimes, he is funny, and sometimes he needs to be spanked for his stupid decisions. I freaking love him. He got issues on top of issues.
The writing is good, thought it was dangling around being soapy at times, good thing the author didn't cross that line. The story flowed so well, i liked some prose, other times not. We get to know the characters through Dan’s eyes. He is somehow an unreliable narrator but what I have come to learn is, they make the best stories. The characters felt so real and i loved the diversity.
The secondary characters were amazing. Donny! Dan’s friend. He was funny, knows how to dish it and isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. We all need a Donny.
Ked! Dan’s son, I loved that he was just your typical teenager. His relationship with Dan was the best, what a wonderful, open, Dad/Son relationship.
The case was interesting, got me hooked and engaged until the end. Dan really needs to have his priorities straight. I did understand some of his actions, sometimes, we act out of anger then regret later. some of his actions were so realistic and hurtful.
As for the relationship, let’s just say, Dan needs lots of therapy before getting into any relationship. And i don't think even that will help.
Overall, I had a good time.
