After a long absence, novelist CJ Baxter returns to his hometown of Adelia in upstate New York for his grandfather’s funeral. Facing a messy divorce and doubting his talent as a writer, CJ is forced to confront secrets that have tormented him since childhood. To complicate matters, his brother Graham is running for a Senate seat, and the family is intent on keeping the most damaging secret–surrounding a murder and its cover-up–in the family, for fear the truth would ruin Graham’s chances at winning. But with CJ airing their dirty laundry in his books, the family is forced to deal with him. CJ must find a way to remain safe while coming to terms with the newfound faith that compelled him to return to Adelia in the first place.

Summary
From: Isaac Scego
Book Title: Hunter's Moon
Book Author: Don Hoesel
What do you like about this book:
Summery::
Once again, Hoesel flaws a potentially engaging story with long, wearisome, boring composition with things no one could find even the slight bit of interest in. It seems as though it's some sort of trademark. But, once again, I do appreciate the author's efforts to keep things as clean and reader-friendly as possible--even though, in the end, it just became another one of its many faults--and shine the light of Jesus as the same time. But I can read the same type of story from Randy Singer or Joel Rosenberg, and it wouldn't be considered a complete waste of time. I have given him a second chance. This is the final book I read from author Don Hoesel.
Sexual Content::
Some adulterous references and romance between characters.
Violent Content::
A young boy is shot and killed, but the scene is relatively bloodless. A woman is said to've been hit by her husband and a man is assaulted by a blow to the head. A few other scenes of violence.
Language::
Someone flicks the bird.
Drug/Alcohol Content::
A lot of smoking and drinking. There're a few bar scenes that feature drunk men, including CJ.
Recommendation:: 3/5
PG-13 - Thematic material, smoking, and some violence
