A Haunting Name From the Past . . .

Granger Meade was mentally scarred as a boy by his religious zealot parents. He was bullied at school for his quiet, oafish appearance, which naturally made him a loner and outcast.
But one girl treated him differently—Pamela Wagner. Pam talked to Granger, took an interest, listened, made him feel like a human being. She cared when no one else did, and Granger loved her for it; and still does 20 years later.
So Granger goes back to their Ohio town. Back to Pamela. But she is happily married to reporter Jack Crittendon, who's embroiled in a time-sensitive story about a pastor who's disappeared and left a suicide note; a case swirling with suspicion and talk of scandal.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Will definitely be reading the trilogy. Storyline was captivating. Excellent characters and the thread of the love of God and sacrifice of Christ ran right the way through.

I nearly sent it back before finishing the first chapter, but because I was busy on something else, I continued listening. Then came a totally unexpected plot twist, and I found that I really wanted to know how it would end.

I found Jack and Pam to be incredibly irritating, and couldn't help but notice that the non-white characters were not as 'perfect' as they, or their other associates were; they had to have some 'flaw' which made them not as perfect as the other characters, thereby maintaining the 'us and 'them'.

I found the constant dipping into religion was annoying too as I found it to be unbelievable that they would live their lives in that way.

I found the narrator's voice annoying, though I think this was unfairly because it was mainly due to 'what' he was saying rather than 'how' he said it.

The ending was ok, and I've asked my sister to listen to tbe whole book to see if she comes to the same conclusion as me; she has already mentioned she does not like the narrator's voice...!

Not a book that I shall be revisiting in the future, but also not the worse book in the world. It was just ... annoying!

'Annoying!' - Glad It's Over!
