Never met a Rain book I didn't like, and this is no exception. Lots of snarks and innuendo and a main character who certainly is adds to an intriguing mystery. If certain aspects of Jim Knighthorse weren't so blatantly tongue in cheek, he could be rather annoying, but you can't stay irked at a guy who has lunch with God. The mystery is good and full of twists and red herrings, so enjoy!
Jason Starr is terrific as narrator and has the sardonic down pat. ( )

I have been waiting forever for this fourth book in the series. This series has always been a favorite of mine, Jim Knighthorse always at the back of my mind. He is a lovable ex-football player, not perfect by any means, but doing his best to do his best. Now he has a dog he has adopted that was once abused, a girlfriend who loves him even though he has some issues, and he meets God for coffee at McDonalds. Just can't forget a book like that.
Knighthorse has grown a lot since the last book and now he is hired to find an ex-child TV star who was dead but might not be dead. But then other people end up dead. Got it? Even though his client is now dead (seeing a trend, are you?), Knighthorse carries on with the investigation and finds a lot of confusion to untangle. Along the way he helps people out, he meets with God (who seems to be following him now), has his own miracle performed, and figures out the mystery of the dead/not dead ex-child TV star. And what a crazy ending it is. Never in a million years would have seen that one coming. I just love it when that happens!
This is definitely J.R. Rain at his best. He just keeps getting better and better. His books seem to fly by. Yes, they are shorter than the typical ebooks, but there is none of the flowery, detailed, descriptions that just add boredom to your reading. Who needs that? Action and adventure and intrigue is what the reader wants. We want to be swept up into the story and not let go until the very last page. With Rain, that is what we get every time. Never a dissappointing book from him for me. I see he has the next book listed at the end of this one, and I can't wait for that one to come out. Gotta love Knighthorse and Rain! ( )
