Publisher's summary

Jackson Taylor, a defense attorney who prides himself on defending only the innocent, takes on a high-profile case involving the son of a powerful senator—his childhood friend—accused of a brutal murder. Jackson is certain that the man he grew up with could never be a killer.

But his steadfast principles are shaken when his own father, a former small-town sheriff, is implicated after his fingerprints appear on the murder weapon.

Will Jackson’s firm moral compass extend to his father, or will they both be destroyed by the truth?

"The Town I Call Home" is the gripping first book in the Loblolly small-town mystery series, perfect for fans of Louise Penny, Mary Higgins Clark, and Karen Slaughter's Pieces of Her.

Good Read!

The story gripped me from the first few pages. I enjoyed the South Georgia setting. Became very invested in the characters.

Really good

Loved the story! Honestly, if it had not noted that it was an AI read book, I would never have noticed. Voice inflections and pleasant sounding voice, I did not notice the mispronounced worsds that some mentioned, but you get that with human narration, too. I will look for more from this author.

Good mystery, twists and turns.

The story was an enjoyable little mystery. Virtual AI narration was dry, flat, with mispronuntion of words and abbreviations. The narration was soporific.

Excellent story

Loved the story line but the narration sucked. No inflection in the voice, no excitement at appropriate times... Monotone and boring voice over.

vertual voice leave something to be desired

The virtual voice was okay but there was no inflection and sometimes you couldn't tell who was supposed to be talking. I really enjoyed the book. just not the virtual voice. I don't think I will pick another audiobook that has virtual voice for that reason.

Relationship between father and son and commitment of son to his father

Realistic portrayal of small town relationships where everyone knows everyone else through generations. Voice was easy to listen to and made portrayed the character of the son
