    About this audiobook

    In the hottest summer on record, Iron Lake reservoir is emptying, revealing secrets that were intended to stay hidden beneath the water.

    Bestselling horror writer Chris Lassiter struggles for inspiration and he's close to never writing again. His life has become an endless loop of nothing but empty pages, personal appearances, and a marketing machine that is systematically destroying his muse. In a desperate attempt to force Chris to complete unfinished manuscripts his agent buys a remote cabin. All Chris has to do is hide away and write, but he's lost his muse, and not even he can make stories appear from thin air.

    Sawyer Wiseman left town for Chicago, chasing the excitement and potential of being a big city cop, rising the ranks, and making his mark. A case gone horribly wrong draws him back to Lancaster Falls. Working for the tiny police department in the town he'd been running from, digging into cold cases and police corruption, he spends his day's healing, and his nights hoping the nightmares of his last case leave him alone.

    Contains mature themes.

      Robert C. Koehler: The Cynic's Monkey Wrench

      When I started this book I thought the whole series was out!! ??
      I feel in love with both Chris and Sawyer, each were struggling in their own way, Chris with his writers block and Sawyer with his past when he was an undercover policeman in Chicago.
      When Chris and a fellow jogger found some bones under a bridge it threw the small town into speculation thinking he or she was the missing teen Casey who had disappeared many years ago.
      R.J. Scott gave his readers a small history on a few of the towns people which caused much suspicion and speculation on what actually happen to poor Casey ??.
      I listen to this on audio and Sean Crisden did a fantastic job!!! I'm looking forward to reading the next book as soon as it becomes available.

      On some chapters the artists the artist sounded bored by the story. But overall this is a very interesting and hot story to listen to while you work.

      I liked the story but the audiobook had huge skips in the timeline. I would be listening to Chris talking and all the sudden Sawyer was in a totally different location and time, right in the middle of a sentence. Very frustrating. I'm sure if I read the Kindle version this would rate at least 3 stars, maybe 4.

      I really liked Chris and Sawyer. They were two sensible guys that took their time getting to know one another. They became friends before they even thought about being anything else. Chris is a horror writer who has a bad case of writer's block. His bestselling series needs the next book, but Chris just can't come up with the words. Thinking he can help Chris his agent buys a creepy cabin near the reservoir. Now we come to Sawyer. He is recently back in Lancaster Falls after leaving the Chicago Police force. The last case he worked in Chicago nearly ended in tragedy for Sawyer, nearly ending his life, and decidedly tragedy for the kid that was found dead. Enough is enough... he has to get out of the city before he loses a part of himself. The book also revolves around a good mystery when a skull and bones are found in the reservoir, which leads to a lot of questions that still have no ready answers, especially if those bones could belong to Casey McGuire who disappeared 10 or so years ago. Casey was Sawyer’s best friend, and he wants answers. During the course of the investigation Sawyer and Chris grow closer and as Chris starts his research concerning Casey and other all the other unsolved mysteries, he slowly finds the words he was searching for to start his next book. This was a well thought out mystery. It's also the first book of a trilogy so be prepared for the mystery to not be solved in this book. The author is very clear about this being a trilogy. I'm in for that...as I have books 2 & 3.
