Book Review: Robert Bailey’s political thriller, The Boomerang

Robert Bailey’s new thriller, The Boomerang, raises issues that the reader may think about long after the book is over. But it is also a fun read with an imaginative plot and surprises on every page. The stakes are high, the plot is sobering, and the thrills are plenty. 

I recently reviewed The Boomerang for Alabama Writers’ Forum.

“She may not have seen it all, but she’s seen a lot of it,” I say in my review of Brooke Champagne’s Nola Face.
