The Night Watchman
by Brian - May 26th, 2009
Looking for an easy read this summer? Look no further than The Night Watchman by Mark Mynheir. This was a good book that held my attention and moved along very quickly. Before I knew it I was halfway through the book. The story is about a cop who was disabled in the line of duty and strong armed into early retirement. He now works as a night watchman at a condo and doesn’t have much going on in his life. A murder/suicide in the building where he works changes all that. Suddenly he is back into his old investigative habits trying to uncover the truth behind the murder/suicide and maybe even how this is linked to the attack that left him with the bum leg. I won’t give any more of the book away, but I think that you will like it. I didn’t realize until about 150 pages into the book that it was actually a “Christian Fiction” book. I actually never knew that such a genre existed, and was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t go overboard with the Christian theme. In the end the main character doesn’t suddenly turn to God, no miracles happen, and he doesn’t go into the seminary. If you enjoy mysteries or stories about cops then I feel sure that this will be a great book to pack on your trip to the beach this summer.
You can get a copy of the book at the Random House Website
So I decided that in an effort to post on here more often I would sign up for and do a couple of book reviews on here. This way I’m forced to write something, and I get free books too! My first book came a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been slowly working through it. I didn’t know what to think of the book based on the title, but it has turned out to be an easy read, and really interesting. 



I would’ve kept my trusty Buick for a couple more years. I was reading the other day when I came across the following chart showing the most ticketed cars and the least ticketed cars. The good news is that I don’t have a hummer, so I’m not being targeted more than anyone else. The bad news is that three of the 10 vehicles that are least ticketed are Buicks, and I got rid of mine. I guess that stems from the fact that the majority of Buick drivers are over the age of seventy and are more of a risk of driving too slow rather than too fast. I wonder how many tickets are given out each year for drivers driving too slow? Anyways, I was sad to get rid of the Buick, but after it was cutting off on me while I was driving on I-285 in Atlanta, I had to either get a different car or up my life insurance. The car that I have now is not on either list, so I guess it’s about average for tickets. What about you, do you find that you got more tickets in one car versus another one?
