"This twisting and rewarding story is one that readers will turn the pages until the delightful denouement, a tale of a man's search for truth and what politics can do to a small town. While Split City: A Jesus Spares Mystery is character-driven, it explores the dynamics of a small community and presents characters that are believable and fully drawn. The premise is compelling and written with a huge dose of humor, and the persistent humor elevates the amount of entertainment that readers get following Andy Straka's characters. I love stories in which the settings come to life like characters of their own rights, and this novel is one of them. The twisty plot and the incredible writing, sprinkled with sparkling dialogues and unrelenting drama, will drive readers on. It is, indeed, a work of beauty, as suspenseful as it is engaging."
