Book Review: A Gripping Read with Characters that Really Breath
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1972 DeClare, Oklahoma Sheriff O Boy Daniels arrested Joe Dawson for the murder of Gaylene Harjo and her ten-month-old son Nicky Jack. However when Gaylene was found brutally murdered in her trailer, there was no sign of the boy, the baby had vanished without a trace and though the townsfolk searched high, low and long, he was never found. Twenty-seven years later Californian Dr. Mark Albright comes to town seeking clues about his birth parents as he's just found out he'd been adopted and that Gaylene was his mother. He is saddened and shocked when he finds out his mother had been murdered and now he wants to find out about his father. His digging upsets a lot of people, including the killer who would rather the past stay buried along with Gaylene Harjo.
This was an attention grabbing story, one that kept me reading thoughtout the night and one that seemed, to me at least, to be very different from Billie Letts' other stories, not different in a bad way, just different, almost like a mystery thriller. I think I expected something like Ms. Letts' superb "Honk and Holler Cafe, Opening Soon," which I dearly loved. This story is not like that, but it is a gripping read with characters that will live with you for a very long time. Different it is, a wonderful story it is, too.
