The Sideways Life of Denny Voss

 Amazon Prime Kindle Fiction by Holly Kennedy


At the beginning of this story, Denny Voss is arrested when he tries to take a sled full of firearms and ammunition over a snowy hill in his small town of Minnesota. Although Denny is a full-grown man, he is developmentally delayed and like a child in many ways; therefore he is unable to explain what he is doing to the police officers who swoop in to stop him from taking the weapons any farther. 

Indeed, even the reader is mystified about the sled full of guns. (The psychologist examining him in jail asks him what could have been a better choice to make, and Denny ventures, "Call the police station and tell them I was coming?" Um, no...)

Once Denny is in custody, things get worse. A man in town was recently murdered, and it was one of the guns Denny was transporting that killed him. 

This was a really good story with great characters, and a few surprises as well. I will definitely look for more by this author!

I also read (free!) from Amazon Prime Kindle: The Taken Ones
