The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens Book Summary

A USA Today bestseller and book club favorite!

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. Joe, along with his skeptical female neighbor, throws himself into uncovering the truth, but he is hamstrung in his efforts by having to deal with his dangerously dysfunctional mother, the guilt of leaving his autistic brother vulnerable, and a haunting childhood memory. Thread by thread, Joe unravels 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?

Good introduction. This was the first book I read of Allen Eskens. Good storyline, good characters. It was a fast paced read that keep me engaged right up to the end. I look forward to reading more by Eskens.

One of my favorites!. I haven’t taken the time to read a book in a long time. I randomly decided to read this and I’m so glad I did. I am from MN & have an autistic sibling, so from the start I felt tied to this book. It was personally really cool to know the exact places that things were taken place PLUS the author did a really nice job showing a glimpse of what autism is like. I could not stop reading. So many twists and turns that kept me interested. I also felt like I truly knew the characters. Loved it! And highly recommend.

Very Good. New author for me. I read several books/week so mysteries especially have to well written (not overly descriptive to compensate for lack of intrigue), and have believable twists & turns. This was good enough that I’m going on to the next.

The Life We Bury. This is only the third book by Allen Eskens that I have read. While the others were good, I find this story outstanding. It was well written and most importantly it leaves you feeling ecstatic at the end! You just feel good!

A real page turner.. Very well written. Just when you think you have it figured out, it takes a hard turn. I don’t write reviews but this book deserves it.

The Life We Bury. Excellent! Suspenseful right up until then end. I read the last 1/3 of the book this morning, couldn’t put it down. Kudos to this new writer. Highly recommend.

Good book!. I loved it! There were times where things were in my opinion overly explained and it became slightly annoying. However I loved the story, I loved the pace, and I loved the multiple story lines in Joe’s life which added a lot of depth!

Must Read. Superb!!!

Exciting Read. The characters just pop to life. The story draws you in until you are actually there. A thrilling exciting page turner. The best book I have read recently.

Great characters and story. Interesting read. At first a little sophomoric, but the Author works to really develop his characters and the story. I’ll read his next book as well to see where he goes with his main character.

Excellent. Great plot with a few twists. Just enjoyable to read.

Twists & Turns. Page turners are why I read. This was one of them!! I cried at the ending! Definitely worth the read!

Couldn’t put it down. Compelling, gripping. Read it in a day’

Completely Enjoyable. I really connected with this story. Human love, sorrow, conflict, and awakening. The beginning was a tad slow, but keep pushing on and you will be captivated!

Great read!. This is a great book. It’s well written and I couldn’t put it down. I will definitely look for more books by this author.

Couldn’t put it down. Great writing, kept you on the edge of your seat!

Compelling story. This is not a genre I normally look to, but it was part of my book club. I’m very glad I read this, as it was a compelling and well written story that I enjoyed thoroughly. The only downside…it’s the first in a series and now I want to read the rest!

Very good!. Didn’t want to put it down!

The Life We Bury. One of the best. Great read!
