The Retirement Life of a Runaway Desperado

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In the remote Oak Town, a broken corpse lay in the bushes. The person who reported this crime was the dream man of the town’s ladies—Mr. Arthur. His graceful and expensive-looking gray coat was dyed with striking stains of blood. The day after the mu*der, Sheriff Lynn’s records, along with the corpse, disappeared without a trace, only leaving behind the man’s memories which were filled with the smell of blood…

A year later, the details of the crime sank into the dense fog as time passed, but the daughters of the two single fathers grew closer and closer with each passing day. Although Arthur seemed impeccably perfect, his overly forceful actions to conceal something and his great loathing of anyone digging into his secrets made Lynn feel that the other person hated him like he was a reptile.

What Lynn didn’t know was that he and Arthur were unexpectedly very similar—both of them were runaway desperadoes who had given up everything to protect their loved ones.

Of parents and... darkness?
A sadly short story.

Police officer Lyn has started from scratch with his little daughter in the typical postcard town, small, secluded and where it is not possible to keep secrets.
Arthur, doctor and single father has also settled in this place recently, they could have been friends but fate wanted them to meet in the worst possible circumstances, because a cop would never feel anything for a killer, right?

Despite what it may seem this is a fantastic mystery story and an enemys-to-lovers.

Perhaps It could reach the... more>> five stars but the short duration of the story does not allow it to develop and explain the whole part of dark fantasy but if enough for the development of the protagonists <<less

Short novel, but well written. I would say it is mature and enjoyable.

The plot was interesting and entertaining. The main couple worked well with each other, good partners but they felt like very good friends instead of lovers. There was very little chemistry between them throughout the story (in my opinion). Their relationship only (drastically) changed into that of lovers in the last chapter.

There are a lot of unanswered questions about the characters and their past and personal history.

... more>> Not entirely sure what to think.

I liked it but it wasn't what I was hoping or looking for.
Spoiler

they did kiss once but I'm counting that as drunken kiss not development towards lovers since I just don't feel it from them
