Another quick read from the author of The Christmas Box. A young man befriends an elderly woman and learns valuable lessons about life, love, and lost chances.

Picked up at tonight's meeting.

The Locket over all is a charming story of a man trying to do the right thing and win the heart of the girl he loves but it's bogged down by the protagonist's naivite and the sappy tone in which some passages are written. Over all I liked the story especially the friendships Michael made at the nursing homes but sometimes it felt like I was reading a book report as everything is written in the same flat tone except for the ones where the author tries to add some emotion to the scene and it comes off as sappy.

Then there is the slight problem of the trial. I can't believe that the case ever came to trial. Why weren't more people interviewed? What about making a timeline to see if all of the events made sense as originally stated? What about a proper autopsy to look for older injuries? Fortunately all these questions are finally addressed but the author opts for a Perry Mason ending instead of a C.S.I. one.

Taking to the next meeting.

Picked this up at our local meet-up this evening.

Thanks, caligula03 - and countedx58!

I enjoyed this even more than I expected.
When you're in the mood for a Richard Paul Evans read, you can count on a heartwarming story involving likeable characters.

But this time, in addition, I found the story more complex and compelling than usual - and found it to be a just-right read on a getaway trip to Carmel!

wild release...
