This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading
it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the
delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples:
“It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply,
whom he had loved so miserly!”
“Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.”
“As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking
chairs.”
“Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.”
“He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.”
The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when
their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact
that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both
the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand.
Other than the language I liked the way the conversations
were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed,
rather than extrapolating on it. The thrills were many and I liked reading
them. I would probably dive into this one again, to hunt for precious little
nuggets like the ones above.
Try it, you might like it.
Love and peace.
