Wardsville, North Carolina is the setting for the latest novel from author Paul Robertson. Wardsville is a small town that is faced with a "problem", funds are made available to build a new road into the town. The news of this new road has the town in turmoil as is literally has the town divided. The tension becomes so great that leaves the reader wondering, "Is this issue divisive enough to drive someone to murder?"
Paul Robertson starts his small town tale by slowly and quietly introducing the reader to it main players, and as you come to know and care about these folks, you start to sense something bad is happening within the community. As is common, I think, with many small towns, what is seen on the surface is not what the place is truly about. The steady forward pace is just right for you to get to really know each character, and some of their enjoyable ideosyncrasies. Mr. Robertson's descriptions and dialogue speak with authority... he knows small towns and regular folk. He builds his characters to the point where I truly cared about how the tale would end.
The Road To Nowhere is a really well written story.
