A Bit Bookish

The Scent of Rain and Lightning by Nancy Pickard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When a young woman learns her parents' killer has been released from jail, she is forced to revisit old wounds while discovering the destructive power of hate and the true cost of family secrets fully revealing themselves. I liked how the author just jumped right into the story, setting up the framework for her story within the first few pages. It has all the major themes: murder, mystery, family, love. I liked the complex characters tied to history and a setting. And she manages to keep you guessing till the end. A film has been made from this book too. I found it an enjoyable read.
