Almost Home (Link Dixon Mystery Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Caroline Clemmons (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 22 ratings
New Cover: After the death of his wife, Link Dixon leaves Dallas PD to move to his small hometown of Cartersville, Texas and the Victorian home he's inherited. The cut in pay and demotion in status to a deputy sheriff on night patrol will be worthwhile if it helps his solemn young son, Jason, smile again. Link believes growing up among extended family will benefit his son and help the boy recover from his mother's death. So far, it's working for both Jason and Link, even though Link fights the feeling he's a visitor. He loves his home, but is constantly making repairs, definitely not his expertise or pleasure. Link loves being near his parents and four sisters, niece, and nephews. Jason is overjoyed to surround himself with cousins and neighbors. It can be a good life, in spite of the trouble his worthless cousin Virgil Lee creates. But an old acquaintance from his Dallas days recruits Link for undercover work in addition to his job as deputy. Link is not intereasted until he realizes he has to do his part to insure his hometown is a safe place for Jason and Link's family. When did Mayberry become America's Most Wanted? When it looks as if he's failed, Link is rescued by his friend Vince and Vince's sister Anna, but without his simple-minded friend, Coy Carter, Link would never have escaped being framed for murder. And who would dream Virgil Lee holds one of the keys to retibution for two murders?

About the Author

As long as I can remember, I've made up adventures. I admit the early creative stories featured me riding the range with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and saving the West. What a disappointment to learn that Roy was exclusively committed to Dale! Eventually, my best friend from across the street and I decided to become better detectives than Nancy Drew. We drove our parents and neighbors crazy sticking our pert little noses where they didn't belong. About that time I started writing down my adventures, but mostly I was a reader. Not until I read Nora Roberts' early novels did I decide to create my own romance manuscripts. My road to publishing was a lot slower than Nora's was. No surprise there! I still read Nora's books-as well as those of countless other authors-but now I write full time. Unless life interferes, that is. My Hero and I live one a small acreage in the ranching and horse country of North Central Texas. Finally, my childhood dream has come true and I'm in the midst of cowboys. Our two daughters are grown and in their own homes not far away. Living with Hero and me now are Webster, our sweet black Shih Tzu, and our two shorthaired cats: Sebastian, a large black and white tuxedo who thinks he's our watchcat; and Bailey Erin, a shy apricot tabby who mostly stays in my office. When I'm not writing, I love spending time with family, reading, traveling with Hero, browsing antique malls and estate sales, and digging into family history and genealogy. Writing about strong heroes and heroines who overcome amazing obstacles to forge a meaningful life together is my passion. I love to hear from readers at caroline @ carolineclemmons (dot) com.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2013

    Is it possible to go back home again to the security of familiar people and places? Link Dixon is trying to find a haven for his young son and himself. He is drawn back home to Cartersville, Texas with fond memories as the hometown sports hero and his family. Inheriting his grandparent's home is the answer to his problems as a single dad.
    Leaving the Dallas Police Department after ten years is a big step. The low level job of deputy sheriff is a new start, but Spencer County has changed. The area is now a major drug distribution center for gangs. Link is recruited by the federal authorities to investigate this dangerous activity to find the killer of a DEA agent and the local party girl. Warned that the local law enforcement establishment can't be trusted, Link is on his own.
    Who to trust? Coy, the local mentally challenged man? Vince Bartolli, the new lawyer in town? Anna Zimmerman, a friend of Link's sister?

    5.0 out of 5 stars ALMOST HOME a sure winner
    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2011
    Caroline Clemmons is highly regarded in the Romance genre, both Contemporary and Historical, but that doesn't define or limit her. She's handles Mystery and Suspense with the same ease and skill. In ALMOST HOME, she draws you into the life of Link Dixon, a widower who will sacrifice anything to give his young son the right upbringing. Link gives up the big city career as a Dallas cop and returns to the small Texas town where he grew up. While busy rebuilding an old house and old relationships, he is still a cop, and can't ignore threats to the safety of his family and his hometown. The author's deft hand for developing characters you'd fight for makes this a story you don't want to miss.
