Summary: Atticus
Comment: Atticus was a great murder mystery, which goes from the Mountains of Colorado to the desert of Mexico. Atticus is a well to do oil man from Colorado. Atticus's troubled son Scott commits suicide in Mexico but when Atticus goes down to Mexico he finds many clues, which point to murder. The background development of many of the characters was lacking in depth. Such as Reinhardt Schmidt who was major character in the book but the reader wasn't told very much about him. The author doesn't develop the some of the major points in the story such as Atticus's wife's death, which seemed to be one of the major reasons why Scott is the way he is. Scott seemed to breakdown mentally after he killed his mother in a car accident, but this wasn't really introduced into the book. The book was based around the Prodigal Son relationship of a father and his lost son. The father son relationship between Atticus and Scott was on the rocks in the beginning of the novel, but as the novel progresses the relationship grows stronger until the climatic ending. This was an excellent novel because of its ability to keep the reader always wanting more.

Summary: The Young and the Restless
Comment: This was a great well-written book. Hansen is a master for putting this book together. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in a good read, especially a good mystery. It is also a awesome story of how much love this Father, Atticus, has for his son. The beginning definitely started off slowly but reading on, I could not put the book down. This book is about a Colorado Rancher, Atticus Cody and his crazy trip to Mexico. He goes to Mexico because he has received word that his son died. When he arrives in Mexico, it looks more like a murder then a suicide as previously thought. As the book goes on we see what happens to Atticus through the eyes of someone else and the story really comes together. This is not a book one can read lightly, because if they are to they might miss certain details that are needed to bring the book together. Overall, I am glad I read this book even though it was summer reading. I might even go pick up another Hansen book since he pays so much precision to detail. I loved this book, and I know you will also.

Summary: Atticus Review courtesy of Brian French
Comment: Atticus Cody, is a 67-year-old Colorado rancher, and his son, Scott, a excellent but plauged artist, have been on edge with one another since his mother was killed in a car accident, in which Scott was the driver. Atticus'insight on life and responsibility is as strong as Scott's is shattered and weak. When Atticus is told of Scott's untimely death off the coast of Mexico, he investigates his son's party-hard lifestyle among the natives, runaways, and distressed seekers of a cure for cancer, hoping to shed light on the loss of his youngest son. Instead what he finds is the assurance that is son has not committed suicide but rather was murdered and the need to unearth the truth not only for Scott but to give him closure. This story told from both the father and son narrative, the story accomplishes both mystery and one of deep emotion between father and son. the characters of Atticus, Scott, and Renata, Scott's part time, part lover, are vibrantly expresseed, and the fake citry of Resureccion is portrayed as real as Mexico City, itself.
