I have loved T. Davis Bunn for years! Ever since I read "The Great Divide" and how he captured an elderly black woman's attitude to a T, I have loved his writing. I know he captured it because I had a "nanny" just like her when I was growing up.This offering, "All Through The Night" was good. It was not one of his best, but it was good.
Davis Bunn has captured the attitudes and fears, joys and hopes of elderly people on pensions and in the throes of retirement. The characters are funny and so believable. The storyline is exciting and runs at a fast pace which unfolds evenly at the same time the protagonist has to deal with his past and with God. What is really refreshing is there are no sloppy editor mistakes, although some sentences are a little choppy which leads to an occasional problem with syntax. I had to go back and reread a paragraph or two to understand a point or two, but nothing that distracted from the story.

ABOUT THE BOOK
A loner, trying to forget. A community--and a woman--who need for him to remember...Broken relationships and unfulfilled promises scatter themselves across Wayne's past like burned-out craters. His background in military special-ops is something he's trying to forget. But when he gets himself sweet-talked into helping a quirky group of seniors who've been scammed, he discovers it will take a lot more than muscle and nerve. Breach a conman's high-security estate to recover stolen money? No problem. Become part of community? Love again? Not on your life.
A lawyer with her own painful past is intrigued by Wayne and asks him to take on another unusual case--Tatanya's wealthy employer believes he's been visited by...an angel? Did a messenger from God in a pinstripe suit truly bring a divine warning, or is this merely another cruel hoax? Tatanya is willing to trust Wayne with her boss's life, but she's not sure she's ready to trust him with her own wounded heart.
With a financial analyst's skills and a warrior's tenacity, Wayne races to unmask dangerous forces hiding behind a corporate veil. But he will need all his resources--and then some--against an unseen enemy bent on destroying his fragile bid for a second chance at life...and love.
All he wanted was to put his past behind him. But now it's the only thing that will save them...
