About this audiobook
A former federal law enforcement contractor with a somewhat spotty record, Jon Cantrell has seen—and done—just about everything. Now he’s a sheriff, keeping the peace in small-town Texas. He thought that he’d finally settled into a quiet, less-complicated life—until his deputy gets himself murdered. Soon Cantrell’s search for the killer points to an online-dating site designed for extramarital affairs and to a woman who may have been the unfortunate deputy’s last date.
Meanwhile, someone is staging a series of seemingly random attacks on the regional power grid, and Cantrell is reluctantly pulled back into the federal fray when he accepts an off-the-books assignment to uncover the culprit. With the power company and the feds impatient for an arrest—and clues in his deputy’s case pointing to something more sinister—Cantrell must run parallel, conflicting investigations. But will he find what he’s looking for? Or is he about to take a fall?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A solid three...
This is an easy reading thriller. I picked it up because of the title...The Grid...I'm interested in alternative energy, smart grid, etc. , and was amused to see a thriller with this theme.
The author almost lost me in the first few small chapters with his use of dialog. Especially egregious was his use of "po po," I mean come on, the author is an older, white man (no offense), and his character's use of that dialog was out of place. Was this the author attempting to be "hip" or relevant? It didn't work...sounded contrived, and frankly, stupid.
I stuck with it, though, and his earlier lapse ended up an anomaly. The remainder of the book avoided trite dialog, the characters were reasonably developed, and the story was entertaining. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I would like to thank Thomas and Mercer Publishing and Netgalley for providing me this book for my honest review.I've been a long time fan of Mr. Hunsicker and I really enjoyed his first Lee Oswald series and this one is no different. I've already read the first two the Jon Contrell thrillers they were fantastic so I was more than happy to read this one.I have to say that this one is my favorite of the Jon Cantrell series because it's has some crazy twists and turns. When you start reading it you can't stop. It's a fantastic read and I look forward to reading more about Jon Cantrell.
