Kate McCall's husband dies in an hunting accident. Kate's son, Luke accidentally shots his father with an arrow. As Kate is trying to cope with the loss of her husband and the guilt her son carries, an old friend walks back into her life. Jack is an ex-con. He has a lot of people after him right now, because they think he has lost the heist money. The events that take place will make Kate and her son, Luke's relationship stronger than it has even been in this skillfully plotted strongline of a book called Quiver.

I thought Quiver was a good first book for Mr. Peter Leonard. It moved very quickly and easily. The ending was a surprise to me. I enjoyed this fact, when the unexpected happens in a book. It shows that author's writing style to be so amazing that Mr. Leonard can take the reader all the way through a story without the reader knowing or figuring out what is going to happen next. It makes me want to read more novels by this author. If Quiver is any indication of what's to come from Peter Leonard than readers are in for a treat. So make sure to check out Quiver to see what people are talking about and make sure to add Mr. Leonard to your list of favorite authors. You won't be sorry you did.

First line of the book
"Kate was standing at the island counter, eyes swollen from crying, makeup smeared across one of her cheeks, staring at the food: platters of cold cuts and bowls of potato salad, plates of cookies, assorted cheeses and fresh fruit."

Reviewed this book - it had what seemed to be a couple of separate plotlines that took a while to intersect and once they did the pace of the story accelerated and so did my interest as a reader. So the book has a slow start but gets real interesting and has a intriguing but violent ending.

I can't think about this book without thinking about his dad, Elmore's writing. It spent a little too much time on side stories that didn't advance the plot and got a little distracted trying to get in the heads of the characters, but the underlying story was kind of gripping. And messy. Maybe his second book will be better.

Here’s one man who should keep following his father’s footsteps. Whether he got his talent genetically, or honed it listening to his dad for so many years, he’s got it. This was great.
