“The Burden of Proof” by Davis Bunn

If You Could Do It All Over….

How many of us wish we could go back in time and change things? Ethan is a dying man in his fifties, who is full of regrets and failures, who gets that chance.

Suddenly, he can go back in time to stop the murder of his beloved brother, a crime that has never been solved.  What was behind the assassination? Was there something about the last court trial that led to his death?  Can Ethan figure it out in time—because by taking this chance, he will only have a short period to try to change things, and he must forfeit his own life to do so.

This author is an excellent writer who can spin a five-star story that will keep you glued to the pages.  The time travel aspect of this tale is really out there, but Mr. Bunn makes it work without the story becoming unbelievable.  This a book you will not soon forget.  He sets the time period stage so well, that those of us who lived through the eighties, you can almost hear “The Power of Love” playing as he paints a vivid picture of life before cell phones, Nintendo and Apple became part of our common vernacular.

This is a clean story, but I was disappointed it had so little about faith.  The subject is briefly glossed over with one of the character’s suggestions that eternity is the answer, but didn’t give an explanation of what that means.  I recommend this to those who enjoy well-written tales of second chances.

Revell Publishing has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, The Burden of Proof, for the purpose of review.  I have not been compensated in any other manner.  All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required, or influenced, to give anything but an honest appraisal. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
