This book captures Thompson’s mastery of mystery. His ability to bring his characters to life is truly an art–you forget they aren’t real. You find yourself involved in their lives as if you were there. The manner of twist he weaves through the story gives depth to the plot and has you guessing throughout the story “who did it”. You don’t want the story to end because you don’t want to say goodbye to the characters.
“I was skeptical at first (a Christian murder mystery??) but in short, this blew me away. I’m not sure the author would want me saying this, but I got so swept away by the story that I wasn’t thinking about the religious aspect of it. It took me thinking through the allegories to know/get the deeper meaning.It’s as if I was experiencing two stories at once. I read a lot of murder mysteries, and that’s extremely rare, if not unheard of. Anyway, Christian or not, murder mystery fan or just a fiction lover, I highly recommend this one!”
