Publisher's Summary

Sam Hawthorne has lived a nomadic life, wandering through small Midwestern towns for the past two decades. He is known among the people he meets as an oddity and a troublemaker. He has a secret, however; one that has given him the chance to help dozens of people over the years. But that secret has also created a trail, and now someone with violent intentions has begun to follow it.

Forced to run for his life, Sam returns to his hometown for the first time since the death of his family. There, Roger Sandbrook - old family friend and local history professor - welcomes him in and gives him aid. Sam quickly learns that he isn't the only one with secrets, however, and that Roger just might be the only person who can help him.

From the tired small towns of the Midwest to the streets of historic Salem, Sam's journey will carry him through painful memories and across centuries of forgotten history. But ask the questions stack up, will he also find the answers he needs?

love the Lore Podcast, not a fan of this book

Aaron Mahnke's Lore Podcast - while in contemporary times - may be a little shy on nuance and atmosphere, usually reflects a beautiful build of atmosphere, rich historical allegory and folklore and striking accounts.

I thought his fiction would hold a similar level of depth, but I found Grave Suspicion to lack in all aspects. The characters felt like hollow cliches, the antagonists barely had a reason to exist, and the thread of holding them together felt as sturdy as spiderweb.

I can understand the appeal of an easy read that requires no thinking, but I really expected so much more. I also found it disappointing that Mr. Mahnke did not narrate his own book; I think his delivery may have elevated his work enough to earn an average grade.

(p.s. sorry Aaron, love your podcast and voice and am convinced you're a lovely person, but I was expecting Stephen King, and got drunk & sloppy Dean Koontz.)

not for me

Reads like a better than usual Wattpad story. It's sort of ok, the writing isn't too bad, but it's extremely thin. Wiiiiitches... Yeah, no. It started out moderately promising, but ended up a disappointment.
