Summary
Thursday, July 16, 1953
It's just another Thursday morning in July of 1953 when the doorbell rings at 137, Hartford Street, and it's bad news.
Carter's father has been murdered in Georgia, and the local sheriff has no intention of finding out who really did it.
So, Nick and Carter borrow the first plane that Marnie, Nick's amazing secretary, can find for them, and they zoom off back into the past to see if they can uncover the truth of what really happened before the wrong man is convicted. And, knowing the lay of the land under the moss-covered oaks, Carter is pretty sure that the color of a man's skin will figure heavily in who takes the fall.
In The Laconic Lumberjack, the best Nick can do is stand by Carter's side as he confronts an awful past, uncovers some surprising secrets, and deals with the unsavory reality of small-town hypocrisy.
In the end, Nick and Carter discover more about themselves than they ever expected to find.

A clever period piece - Go with it
I was given this audiobook as an advanced listener.
Having already read the ebook did not detract from my enjoyment of this audio version.
I had forgotten about the humour that rang through this story even though you had to listen to how dangerous it was to be be gay particularly outside of a major city in the 1950s as well as to understand a woman's lot and being black during this period.
It was great to hear Nick and Carter's relationship continue to develop but also see the love and trust the evoke in others.
There is a mystery to solve and yes they find themselves in some ridiculous situations which might for some seem to be a bit far fetched but when you wrap this up with their good intentions you just have to go with it.
Going with it was easy when you have the Brian Rollins at the narrator who naturally capture the highs and lows of the story.
I hope the next narrated book in this series is not too far behind.
