Mystery/suspense
A GRAVE CALLING
Wendy Roberts
4 stars
An enjoyable
read that combines crime-solving with the paranormal element of dowsing rods
and pendulums. The female lead, self-healing from her tortured childhood, is a
strong, likeable character that easily pulls the reader along for the ride in
her search for the missing victims. There are parts that seem to be predictable
but a surprising twist towards the end knocks that assumption out of the park
and seals A Grave Calling as one page-turner of a book.
SUMMARY:
Julie Hall is a simple twenty-five year old working at a gasoline station and
living in a trailer set on her grandfather's land. She also has an unwanted
knack for finding dead bodies with the help of her dowsing rods. FBI Special
Agent Garrett Pierce heads the team investigating the disappearance of teenage
girls in the area, whose bodies they have yet to discover. Julie and her
dowsing rods are his last resort in finding the bodies and ultimately, the
killer. (CARINA PRESS, Jun., 463 pp., $3.99)
