Book Reviews of Spencerville
Book Review: Enjoyable romantic thriller
Summary: 3 Stars
Spencerville is an enjoyable novel both as a romance and a thriller. The plot centres on the relationship between Landry, an ex-CIA man returning home to his home town in rural Ohio to live a quiet life, and Annie, his ex-girlfriend and love of his life. The problem comes in the shape of Annie's husband, the town's resident psycho/insanely jealous police chief.The three main characters are fairly well drawn, especially the "real" couple, though the villain is rather a caricature of evil personified, without any redeeming features.
For all that I liked about it, I would also say that I thought the novel was a bit too long, and predictable. As a portrait of Smallville, USA, it is okay, and probably still accurate, though if it had been set say twenty or thirty years ago instead of being contemporary, I think it would have rung even more true.
Definitely worth reading if you come across it.
