Summary

Hieronymus is not only ready to die, he wants to die. It’s his time; however, the laws of Florida forbid him from carrying it out on his own. Self-murder, they label it.

How many of the youngsters - a title he freely applies to anyone under the age of 65 - who put their blessings on such a law would change their minds about the whole self-murder thing once they, themselves, come to realize their days are at an end, that there is no point in trying to hold on, that there is no longer a life while certain death hoovers about them like a cold fog?

And then, when they do die, why does the law make it so hard on their survivors? These are things Hieronymus thinks about while carefully navigating his oxygen tank from the bed to the bathroom to the kitchen to the sofa.

Sometimes, he goes to the window to gaze out at the golf course, regretting the choices he’d made in his life, irritated that so often they weren’t his choices, at all. It was about time he did something right and took control of his final choice - his choice as to how and when to die.

What could possibly go wrong?

Excellent!

Another brilliant story from James Paddock. The plot as in all this series is original and intriguing, the story is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. Less about Parkers family in this one, 5 years on from book 3 his kids have moved out except for Scott who has become a typical 16 year old. The characters are great and although you would not neccessarily be able to liken them to people you know they are all extremely believable. Josiah John Bildner excels in the narration once again and the presentation is excellent. Very sorry this is the final book in the series as I have loved them all. A highly recommended author and narrator worth at least 10 stars impo.
I was kindly given this audio book by the author and have given this honest and voluntary review. Many Thanks James.
