Abandoned by his wife, children and hope itself, Travis Mather is staring down the muzzle of a .45 when an unexpected phone call interrupts his grim exit plan. In disbelief he listens to Wexford Academy's current headmaster appeal for his expert assistance in authenticating the remains of the colonial village's hero, Captain Nathan Abercrombie. By cruel irony, Abercrombie lies in the very earth where his best friend Cody Boyle was bludgeoned to death one rainy November night more than two decades ago. Now Travis must exhume more than ancient bones, and confront the monsters who have destroyed his life and stolen his peace. At last he'll begin to discover Cody's murderers. While their identity becomes more evident with each shovelful of dirt, unearthing their ultimate motivation will tear his life apart.

Engrossing,
This review is from: Little Gods (Paperback)
The setting, the premise, and the writing make this an atmospheric page turner. It's a story that cries out to be made into a movie.

Little Gods is a big hit with me!! I normally take a week or so to read a Mystery Novel, but Little Gods kept me reading all day! I finshed it in 24 hours! Then went back to read it two more times!
Being a youngster when JKF was killed and all the references in the book, took me back in time, a very welcome trip back too! David Hoof has a winner!!!! To put it in 'todays' speak...LITTLE GODS ROCKS!!!

Beautiful Wordsmith,

This review is from: Little Gods (Paperback)
Travis Mather came of age against the back drop of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination and growing US involvement in Viet Nam, but the defining event of his life was the disappearance and presumed murder of his best friend, Cody Boyle, during their senior year at Wexford, an exclusive New England prep school. Little Gods is a beautifully crafted novel about fear, guilt and manipulation.
I really enjoyed this book's use of language. David Hoof is an eloquent writer, spinning his haunting tale with words that will live beyond the book itself. The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is that I found it very slow and confusing in the beginning, but hang in there, once it takes off, it takes off.
