02 / THE AUTHOR
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA
Nearly forty years in insurance.
A lifetime of stories waiting to get out.
Charles Cruthirds earned his Bachelor of Science at the University of New Orleans. After a career in insurance, retirement gave him the chance to follow his passion for writing.
His home state runs through the J.C. Net novels: small Louisiana towns, the French Quarter, and the secrets people would rather leave alone.

The Road to Darkness.
This is a great first book. Once I started reading I didn’t stop until I was finished. I had at least 3 suspects throughout the book could never quite figure it out until the end. Can’t wait for book 2.
I DID NOT WANT TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! Super easy read! If you enjoy a suspenseful murder mystery this book will not let you down! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
