I loved the book & didn't want it to end! I read it in just a few days! This is the second book I've read by this author and I'm not disappointed in her work at all! Great stuff!

Before purchasing this book, I read every single review & I was discouraged! I decided to purchase it against all the odds of the other viewers! Just a little friendly advice to those who "ONLY"  depend on reviews, "DONT" any longer! It was an absolute page turner & I was happy with the ending! I have been enjoying giving other African American authors a try without the opinions of others & enjoy them much more than ever! If you depend on others for reviews, you may be denying yourself a treat to one of the best books you will ever indulge in! You will enjoy Casting The First Stone, do enjoy :O)  All I have to say to Ms. Roby is that "YOU GO GIRL" Keep on enlightening us!

WOW! and WOW again!!! AMAZING GROUP OF AUTHORS & BOOKS!! I was very surprised to find Eli Constant and have since purchased her other work. The first novella (was hers) and from there I was hooked. Of course, anything with Tufo & Chesser has to be amazing and I am so glad I purchased this.... WHAT A GREAT CAUSE!! This is worth 20X more than the .99 price... GET IT PEOPLE!!

I was gifted this book for my honest & unbiased opinion.  This was my first book in this genre & I TRULY  LOVED  IT!!!  I was immediately caught up in the story from the first page.  Oliver, Franklin & Samantha were described in such detail that I felt as though I knew them.

I felt bad for Oliver because of how many of the people treated him.  Franklin seemed to become empowered as the story progressed.  At the same time a softer side of Samantha revealed itself.  The three of them demonstrate to the reader how  *thinking out of the box*  can lead to solutions for a variety of problems.

I feel like this is a great story for young & old alike.  The story can make anyone feel as though ANYTHING  IS  POSSIBLE!  There were *clues* to find through out & semi-scary scenarios to keep you on the edge of your seat at times.  Nothing that would cause nightmares, just enough to keep you engaged in the story.

Like many other reviewers have said, I also hope that there will be more in this series.  I would love to go on more adventures with the trio as well.  I highly recommend this book!

Wish a movie was made about it!

Just read the first 3 Reviews & they tell quite a bit of the story, so here's my take on the book.  I also like the fact that this was based on true events right here in Tampa.  The Author has done her research well & writes in a manner that "paints the scenes" so you can see them in your mind's eye.
Right from the beginning... the story pulls you in:
Who are these characters? What is their relationship? Who's at the window??
Ahhh -- all of this will be explained in time.  With my curiosity peeked, I continued to read.  Little by little, each new person or situation was revealed as to how they fit into the story.  As they say... the plot thickened... I wanted to know MORE.  It was so hard to put the book down when time constraints forced me to, and I anxiously picked it back up as soon as I could.  Intrigue & surprises continue thru to the end.  But wait... is this really the end?  Or perhaps just setting the scene for new stories born out of this one.  I'm ready & waiting the next in the series!  :)

In 2012 I was fortunate to attend a Meeting for AT&T in Dallas. The Shuttle taking me from the Airport was owned by the driver & since I was the only passenger he took me in a Tahoe. As we were coming into Dallas I questioned him Re the 1963 assassination. We stopped at the Book Depository & got out to tour the Grassy Knoll & Book Depository. I must say the hair on my back & neck rose as we walked! He claimed he was in traffic stopped due to the President coming by at intersection & saw Kennedy assassinated by gun fire! I have always believed a conspiracy existed & more than one shooter was involved. I base this on my Military Training being in an Air National Guard LT. Air Police unit I had top secret clearance & investigative training working on things beyond normal Air Police work! I have never written a Book Review but here are some thoughts; First congratulations to you Tony, for editing the book & the investigative writer Mr. Blevins. The book factually with proof portrays the Warren Commission as not doing a quality investigative job on the report that was published! Color Pictures from Moorman photo, Nix, & Darnell films attempt to show the other shooters without good Quality i.e. page 246! However, the investigation into where the trajectory of bullets and marks from bullets on various items where casings were found is outstanding! The book specifically put the 3 so called Tramps at the site & not much was done at the time by Law Enforcement to prove they were involved! Trajectory pictures/diagrams are outstanding & further prove in my mind 13 shots were fired that day. Frames from Zapruder Film were used effectively! The different Forged Documents are presented well & further prove to me that cover up or not, law enforcement were going to prove the theory that there was only one shooter! I had not previously seen an explanation of a "decoy" gun! 13 Shots does a tremendous job of bringing out numerous inaccuracies in things such as the pistol & rifle claimed to have been used by Lee O. due to time frames etc. On a scale of 1-10 the book is easily a 9 or 10 in reporting the actual facts!

Hope, You keep up this much needed factual investigative reporting.

I was a little skeptical when I purchased this book & figured I would keep it for a later read. I had it for a week then decided to read it & I'm so glad I did!! Avery & Mike stories drew you in like nobody's business. I could not put it down and had to finish it in one sitting... The bad part of this book... Is that it ended . Highly recommend this!! Thank you Kara Kelley for a great read!!! As you see I will not give away the entire story in my reviews, because what's the sense of reading it if you just heard the whole story in a recap.

I really liked this story. There was a lull in the story (for me) around the 25% mark but I was too curious to put it down. So I stuck it out & I'm glad I did. The story picked up & s$*t hit the proverbial fan! Stuff was revealed that made me go CHAAWWLLL!! There are characters that you will LOVE to HATE in here!! You know how Homer Simpson would always choke Bart out...well...I suggest you sit somewhere that's padded, so when you see your tablet flying across the room, at all the mess dropped, you'll be covered!!

Good job Krystal Armstead!! I'm moving on to book 2 now! Thank goodness there is a book 2!! I need some closure or a drink...at 5:30am

I bought a copy of this book on a friends recommendation. I don't have alot of time to read but vacation was approaching so I thought this would be a good thing to have. I picked it up when it arrived a week prior to vacation to "just get a little bit started". I read it in 2 days!!! Couldn't put it down. I have since bought several copies and given them out. Great book!!! Great guy!!!!
