This book was amazing indeed. Why? Well, I will tell you. Because, Ms. Naigle is able to literally touch my emotions with her dialog, storytelling, and the ability to make me 'fade' out of my home and 'fade' into the story itself.
I found myself gasping for breath as I suddenly 'realized' I had tears pouring down my face and this was page eleven. I actually had to put the novel down and get a drink in order to compose myself and continue the story.
I am going to try and tell you, without giving too much away, the premise of the story.
We are back at Adams Grove in Virginia. A small town introduced to use in "Sweet Tea and Secrets" last year. Actually, the book begins with a charming professional photographer, Kasey Phillips on a photo shoot. She is a happily married, mother of one son who has the capability of making her 'subjects' come alive and with color.
The book opens as a Romance. I enjoy romances when they have depth and credibility. This romance is so strong that you could feel it. Kasey, armed with a job offer, drives home to see her 'boys.'
The doorbell rings. A policeman enters and the world stops and flips upside-down. I hit page eleven.
Sounds predictable? Oh no it wasn't. What follows is a mother's search for her missing child while dealing with the crime (yes, a mystery crime,) murder of her beloved husband.
That is all I'm going to say, because, this Romantic Suspense Mystery is so well drawn that I do not want to stop you from experiencing it yourself. Women will adore the story but it is really a man's story as well. This book is literature and I won't be surprised if it wins accolades along the way. I know it won my heart!
Please Ms. Naigle continue the writing of lives in Adams Grove!
