"Now," Duckworth said, "it may be just one huge
coincidence that this same number keeps popping up. But maybe it isn't. That's
why I'm asking for the public's help. If you know of someone with a fixation on
this number, if you have any idea how these various incidents might be connected,
we want you to get in touch with us. All tips will be treated confidential".....
This is the second book in
the "Promise Fall" trilogy. No sooner had I started this one than I
wished I'd already read the first one. I will go back and do just that. I was
able to put together what was in the first one and it was very intriguing,
enough to make me want to read it too!
Set in upstate New York, this
story starts out with a horrible disaster on closing night at the local
drive-in. People are dead and everyone wants answers. Detective Barry Duckworth
is working on more than one thing involving some recent and past murders.
Noticing connecting evidence he set out to solve these. Are they connected to
the drive- in deaths?
Meanwhile, Cal Weaver is
asked to look into the accident at the drive-in by the daughter of one of the
victims, Lucy Brighton. Cal is a private detective and discovers some very unsettling
things in the home of Lucy's dad. Cal is still recovering from things that happened
to him in the first book, but is the kind of man you want there when you need
someone. Now he's trying to figure out why some things were taken from the
drive- in victims home the same night they died. What are these items and how
does it fit in to their deaths?
Promise Falls has all
kinds of secrets it's been holding quietly. I enjoyed each of the characters as
they played into the story. Even though I haven't read the previous book, there
is enough information to interest you in these people. It will make you want to know
more, I had that feeling thorough out. I
really want to read the first one more than ever now.
As the lives of the town
residents intersect we see into the lives of the former mayor, a news reporter
without a newspaper, a college campus cop, a woman fighting to keep her child.
Who is going to find the real reason behind the deaths at the drive-in theater?
Was there an ulterior motive or was it an accident? Steady pace and some pretty
good surprises. A jaw dropping ending! A
well woven tale that will pick up with the next book. I look forward to it and
now after reading this one, the first one and the next one are "must"
reads.
Discovery of the facts
will find that some things are "Far From True."
