4.0 out of 5 starsA Proper Murder Mystery
By Grady Harp HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on June 17, 2012
Format: Hardcover
Michael Thomas Ford has earned a loyal following for his excellent novels: he is fine storyteller, knows how to pace a tale to keep the reader involved, and creates characters with whom the reader can embrace as memorable people. His ability to remain in the top group of the writers who create successful gay-themed stories that stand solidly as excellent literature is well established, and while not all of his output is along these lines, his most popular books are (Last Summer, Looking for It, Full Circle, Changing Tides, Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me, It's Not Mean If It's True, etc.) In WHAT WE REMEMBER Ford seems to be branching out into novels that will appeal to a larger audience in that he explores the arena of women's fantasies and private moments and the intrigues of heterosexual liaisons along with the tired and true dissection of dysfunctional families. He adds to this what is meant to be a puzzling murder mystery and the technique of writing that alternates contemporary time in alternating chapters with events eight years prior to explain the gradual unfolding of family secrets and realities. Some of this works, some doesn't.

Simply stated WHAT WE REMEMBER is a tale of two families in a small town whose lives are intertwined with love/hate relationships, suicide/murder, jealousy, misplaced and reconnected love and other diversions. The problem with this novel is that the characters are almost without exception not people about whom we care, making the strange developments less than convincing. Of note, the only character who does manage to maintain our interest is Billy, the youngest brother of the main family who just happens to be gay. But even Billy is a misfit and stretches the tolerance of the family as well as the patience of the reader until the last few chapters.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsFamily secrets are many in this outstanding new novel!
By Bob Lind on May 26, 2009
Format: Hardcover
A quiet evening in Seattle, with his attorney girlfriend, Charly, is interrupted for James McCloud by a call from his sister Celeste, back home in upstate New York. Seems that the body of his father, long believed to have committed suicide, has been found, and indications are that he was murdered. James flies home to help Celeste, his gay younger brother Billy, and their mother, Ada, at this difficult time.

Circumstantial evidence found with the body results in his being arrested as the primary suspect, by Celeste's husband, Nate, the town sheriff. As the family ponders the scary possibility that James, who had his differences with his father but never showed any violence before, might have actually committed the murder, Charly flies to New York to help in James' defense. She finds a very unusual family, with close ties to the family of the father's best friend, and many of them harboring secrets they assumed wouldn't hurt anyone, but which together conspire to keep the crime from being solved.

One of my absolute favorite authors, Michael Thomas Ford has an impressive stack of diverse best sellers in several genres and on a variety of topics. This mystery/character study of a small town family is among his best. Told effectively in flashback narratives by the different characters, it provides a life lesson on how secrets and "white lies," no matter how well-meaning, can come back to haunt you later. Excellent, captivating read, which I give five bright stars out of five, in a dark country sky.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Great Book
By D Lennon on September 3, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this book on several levels. As a mystery, it's well plotted and engaging. As a portrait of a family coming to terms with its past, it's completely convincing and thought-provoking. As a literary work, it's masterful. It's not often I read something and think, "Gee, I wish I'd written that," but in this case I found myself thinking it constantly. This is a first class read.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Small Town Mystery Focused on Two Families
By Michael Travis Jasper on April 20, 2011
Format: Paperback
I've read about everything by this author, and always enjoy his work. This is probably his first real mystery, and he kept me guessing right up to the end. In a bit of a surprise move, the gay character is neither the star of the story nor particularly sympathetic. This is a tale of family dynamics and small town living. I appreciated this quick and entertaining read.
