READERS' FAVORITE FIVE-STAR REVIEWS:
"The Jasper Creed by William Jarvis is an engrossing tale of murder, stabbings-in-the-back, power abuse, and cover-ups. Set in the small town of Jasper, Tennessee, with the backdrop of the Sinclair Candy factory, the Jasper Free-Will Baptist Church, and high school baseball, readers are introduced to a cast of compelling characters. The tale has sophisticated layers of intrigue, with scheming characters, skeletons in the closets, and blackmail. Casey is a well imagined protagonist, a hero who is torn between his quest for justice and the admiration of the town. William Jarvis creates powerful characters, invents a strong conflict and a puzzle so intriguing that readers will want to see how the pieces fit together in the end. The writing is gorgeous and confident, the narrative voice so strong it has the reader enraptured, the suspense exacting and intense. The Jasper Creed is a cunningly plotted story that is hard to put down; as engrossing as it is entertaining. You'll genuinely love the heroes while sincerely hating the villains of the drama in the small town of Jasper." --Christian Sia, Readers' Favorite Reviews
"In the small town of Jasper, everything and everyone is under scrutiny. Living in this small town is Casey, a young man destined for a bright future in baseball. He is talented and recruiters are keeping an eye on him to lure him away. However, when Casey receives a career-ending injury, this unfortunate incident starts a series of events that bring the small town of Jasper crumbling down. His girlfriend is murdered, his teammate is mistaken for the murderer, and there is a web of lies binding everything together. How can someone survive when things are this bad? The story was intense and very well written. The dialogues brought something new to the story and gave the characters their own distinctive edge. The suspense was kept until the very end and had me on the edge of my seat to find out what would happen next. This is definitely one of the best thrillers I have read this year! Very entertaining!" --Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite Reviews
"I'm going to pay The Jasper Creed by William Jarvis one of the highest compliments I can for this type of novel. Throughout the book the voice and tone sounded exactly like the late great Pat Conroy. So if you are a Pat Conroy fan,you can simply stop reading this review and buy The Jasper Creed. You won't regret it. William Jarvis tells this tale with all the authority of someone who knows a lot about Southern towns and Southern secrets. The plot rings true. The setting is spot on. The characters are portrayed so well that I thought some of them seemed exactly like people I know. This is a story of vanished youth and secrets so powerful that to unleash them would rock a town to its foundations. But most of all, this is good writing. Writing you get once in a generation, if you are lucky. If he continues to write, I predict that Jarvis has the potential to become one of the next great Southern authors." --Ray Simmons, Readers' Favorite Reviews
