One of Ours by Lynn-Steven Johanson is a must-read! The twists and turns in the flawlessly flowing plotline kept me on the edge of my seat. I could not put the book down once I started reading it since the mystery and suspense utilized by Lynn-Steven were highly effective. The characters are well-developed and relatable, which adds to the beauty of this fantastic work. I loved how the author used the book to convey information affecting society, such as gun violence, sexual offenses, and therapy. This made the book not only entertaining but also informative. The reader will also appreciate the easy-to-understand language used, which makes this accessible to all readers. I cannot wait to read something else from this talented author.
