Book Reviews of Righteous RevengeBook Review: Midwest Book Review - murder, mystery, miracles, love Summary: 5 Stars
The back cover dubs this author as "word wizard" and she is that alright. This book was well written and engrossing from page one, complete with murders, mystery, miracles and love. I could barely stand to put it down. Bethany Bridgewater is an independent woman, calm, capable and centered. Her engagement to Brad Quinn is not the joyous time it should be. Neither Brad nor her parents approve of Bethany's angel store. Brad is a gloriously handsome devil, but his desire for the reluctant Bethany is brushed off at every turn. His touch does nothing for her. When Bethany's family is murdered, it is not Brad who stands by to lend moral support, but Adam Addison her father's lawyer. Adam has long been hopelessly enamored of Bethany but has kept those feelings private. Bethany's twin Andrea has always believed herself to be the black sheep of the family. Andrea is stylish, flamboyant, and flaunts her beauty for all to see and appreciate. Her career as an "actress" in LA is not exactly something to be proud of. When Andrea returns home for her family's funeral, she and Brad are drawn together like [] magnets. The murderer remains hidden from readers, but we get a glimpse into his or her troubled mind through thoughts. The author handles this part well and builds suspense effectively by interspersing the killer's thoughts with action and dialog. Both Bethany and Andrea are in danger, as well as their ten year old sister Courtney. Courtney survived a bullet to her brain, but lingers in a coma. I was not prepared for the miracles, or for the shocking ending. Ms. Scott took me by surprise. If you like mystery, suspense, love, and a well crafted story, read this book The author has a new book out that I am eager to read. There is some sexual content in Righteous Revenge, so it is not appropriate for the young or immature. Otherwise I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a hearty read.
Summary of Righteous RevengeTwin sisters, separated by distance and life-style choices are reunited by the unexpected brutal murder of their parents and only brother, Matt. The book, situated in Des Moines, Iowa explores the relationship between serene unpretentious Bethany and sexy glamorous Andrea as each seeks her own technique for dealing with the tragedy. While Bethany immerses herself in her Angel store, Andrea delves into the forbidden.
