Publisher's summary
College student Joe Talbert has the modest goal of completing a writing assignment for an English class. His task is to interview a stranger and write a brief biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe heads to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he meets Carl Iverson, and soon nothing in Joe's life is ever the same. Carl is a dying Vietnam veteran-and a convicted murderer. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder.
As Joe writes about Carl's life, especially Carl's valor in Vietnam, he cannot reconcile the heroism of the soldier with the despicable acts of the convict. Aided by his skeptical neighbor, Lila, Joe throws himself into uncovering the truth. Thread by thread, he begins to unravel the tapestry of Carl's conviction. But as he and Lila dig deeper into the circumstances of the crime, the stakes grow higher. Will Joe discover the truth before it's too late to escape the fallout?

Editorial Review
The plot of The Life We Bury is obviously intriguing. But what brings this character-driven mystery to a new level is the narration by Zach Villa. His voice perfectly conveys the protagonist's mentality with a delivery that exemplifies the 'too-cool-to-care-but-actually-cares-a-little' attitude

What’s happening in Acker’s Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker’s Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow?

Investigative journalist Laura Chambers is back in her tiny hometown of Hillsborough, North Carolina, the one place she swore never to return. Fired from The Boston Globe, her career in shambles, she reluctantly takes a job with the local paper. The work is simple, unimportant, and worst of all, boring - at least until a missing girl turns up dead, the body impeccably clean, dressed to be the picture of innocence. Years earlier, 10-year-old Patty Finch left home and never made it back. But for the people of Hillsborough, Patty was just the beginning.

If my childhood taught me anything, it was to survive. Now I have a deep-rooted mistrust of people and a wall of steel and ice surrounding my heart. So, when Reed Ryan steps into my life, I know I need to keep him far away. He’s everything I grew up hating. Fighting. Fleeing. Devastatingly handsome, he looks like a drunken regret and has heartbreak written over every inch of his body - literally. He’s the quintessential bad boy...and he’s a cop. But the man is my undoing.

So satisfying!
Great little mystery. Great character development, with enough side stories to make you care about our heroes. And very good writing. Some might find "the good guys" too good, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and was hooked from beginning to end. My only fault: too short. And the narration!!! Absolutely excellent. I will search what else Mr. Villa has narrated as soon as I hit "submit" on this review.

1st class writing. Decent story
I have encountered few stories written in a style I enjoyed more than The Life We Bury. The character development, the prose, the way various stories were woven into the narrative... just perfect. Eskens has a gift.
However...
The plot itself is kind of sophomoric. I kept thinking of contrived Hardy Boys. I didn't mind the setup. It was good. An old guy dying of cancer being interviewed by a college student for a biography raises questions regarding a murder from 1980. Its just what happens next that is kind of lackluster. The writing carries the day though.
This is a worthwhile read if you like well written genre stories. Too many holes to make it perfect. Too many coincidences to make it a gem. But still worth picking up.

Almost a page turner.
Any additional comments?
The main character is a young man who has undergone some rough home life and childhood traumas that continue to plague him as he attempts to get himself through college and on track for a better future. His path is filled with challenges that test his courage, wits, loyalty and love. I found it well worth the time.

What a treat!
This is a great human interest, who-done-it, action, feel good all in one. Even got a little of how the justice system is not so fair. Narrator sounds "age appropriate" which is a plus and does a great job. I really can't think of a thing i didn't like. Thought i had it figured out quickly and was disappointed at the ease of it. Nope, I was wrong. Listen and enjoy!

Excellent story
I don't say this much, but I LOVED (capital letters) this book. I loved the characters, I loved how they were "fleshed out" as the story progressed. So much of it is sad, in terms of the condition of the main character's life, but there is a vein of humor throughout, especially as his relationships with some of the characters developed. He is a young man who has worked for everything he has, with a good heart, but has endured a lot of pain in his life. There's his worthless, gambling, alcoholic mother and her abusive lout of a boyfriend; there's a sweet autistic brother; and there's an accused murderer and rapist who is dying of cancer which the main character meets because of an assignment in one of his college classes. There's a smart strong woman who has suffered her own knocks in life, a great cop ... Well, I could go on and on. But this book is a GREAT read (listen)!

Wasn't what I thought it would be when I bought it. I loved it just the same! The narration was very good. Very enjoyable and have recommended it a few times in the last week. A couple of friends got the e-book and are enjoying it as well!

Didn't want to put it down.
The reader was excellent--perfect for the character.
Good story--kept my attention throughout.
The character development was well done. You really started to be involved in the characters and their outcome.
I look forward to more by the author and narrator.
