MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
by Karen Witemeyer
Three orphans form their own “family” in turn of the century
Texas after a train wreck leaves them alone.
All are “cursed’ in some way. Twelve years after the train wreck finds
them settled and succeeding until a stranger appears who wants to cause them harm.
There is off screen violence toward women and several
murders/attempted murders. There is no foul language. The love scenes are
limited to kisses.
The main character, Evangeline, is fully developed: the
others less so. The place is Texas but could be anywhere. The plot is
interesting although the end too convenient and too short, while other parts of
the novel drag. The author tells us –
repeatedly – exactly how the characters think and feel.
For the genre – Christian mystery romance – the book is one
of the better written and plotted.
3 of 5 stars
