The Blue Hallelujah by Andy Straka

    I will start with saying that I fell in love with retired police detective Jerry Strickland. Though his heart could give out at any time, he has things to do.  He must redeem his wife, who died in prison after shooting a murder suspect in cold blood and he must help find his granddaughter, who has been abducted from her day camp. And this abduction is eerily similar to the abduction and murder committed by the man his wife killed years before. But no one, not even his old police buddies, wants to listen to what Jerry has to say about it. With his teenage grandson, Colin, Jerry begins his own search for the abductor and sets the record straight, in writing, about what really happened years before with his wife, Rebecca. Rebecca's story is revealed in excerpts from this written story as we follow Jerry and Colin through their own dangerous investigation.
   
    This was not a long book and I read it in five hours.  It was fun, heartwarming, exciting and original.

    Another very good quick read.
