Book Review: Intriguing Blend Of Mystery And Romance
Summary: 4 Stars
"A Bend In The Road", by Nicholas Sparks mixes romance and mystery for a highly captivating read. Although a bit predictable, that didn't stop me from wanting to turn the page to see what happened next and to see if my predictions were right.
Miles Ryan's life changed course in an instant. He lost his wife in a car accident and three years later, still has trouble coping with this horrible tragedy. He is doing his best to raise his young son, Jonah, and both are feeling the great loss of the wife and mother they loved so dearly. Miles, a sheriff, is obsessed with finding the person who fled the scene and left his wife lying in a ditch. Jonah, neglected by teachers who felt sorry for him, and by his father's obsession with "the case" has his own emotional troubles.
When Sarah, Jonah's new teacher comes into the picture and brightens the lives of both father and son, it looks like she will be the one to help them start life anew. Miles seem to be able to put the case behind him and enjoy life. When new evidence emerges though, Miles relives the day his wife was killed and again can not let it go. But is he on the right track, and can another tragedy be prevented before it's too late?
The story of love is uplifting. The love of family, a man's love for his wife and son, and new love. It is the love that is the motivating factor that will determine the course of all their lives. The mystery of the hit and run accident gets more suspenseful as the story goes on, and is made all the more intriguing by the fact that the story is told by the driver himself! Every few chapters the author has him inserting his own thoughts of the events, and only a little at a time do we get hints as to who it may be. I found these chapters to be the real page turners.
This is the large print edition(BTW - why do the LP books cost so much more), but there are other editions available.
Recommended as an enjoyable summer read for both romance and mystery lovers....enjoy...Laurie
