Innovative and Exceptional...a Riveting Story
Todd Love finds a new way to surprise his readers, both in the pure dialogue construction of this narrative and in the shockingly sad twist revealed at the conclusion. But this isn't one of those twists shoehorned in for the sake of taking the reader by surprise, the hints are there throughout the story, if only we knew to pay attention. A conversation takes place between two old friends as a former detective, Lloyd Andrews, evaluates his life and the mistakes he's made. Reflecting on the events that transpired when he successfully ended the killing spree of The Barrhaven Cannibal, he needs to unburden himself to the only person he knows will understand. If you're looking for something different, I can assure you that Last Day should make your list. I can imagine this performed on a stage, a contrast between stark shadows and light, and I'd love to see that happen. Imagine it for yourself when you check out Last Day.

Best yet!!
Ok, so this was different! Not just different for Todd, but different from a lot of books! This is a short story told only in dialogue! A conversation between a retired homicide detective, and someone he felt needed to hear his story! His absolutely brutal, heart-wrenching, horrific and emotional story! Todd has outdone himself with this one, he came out of his comfort zone (his words) and gave it everything!! The writing is fantastic, the story is fantastic, the emotions he made you feel and the visuals he made you see were fantastic!! This one is going to stick with me for a very long time - I can feel the nightmares coming on already! I read the whole thing with a look of shock and horror on my face! Todd always makes such a big impact in such a short space! And there is always that famous and much anticipated Todd Love Twist!! His best yet!! Loved it!!
