I reviewed Nancy's first Adams Grove novel, Sweet Tea and Secrets some time ago, and although I was impressed, I am of the opinion that this story is even better in terms of technical expertise and emotive imagery.Savannah Dey politely agreed to attend her ex-husband’s wedding, but she’d be grateful for any reason to get out of it…which is why the speeding ticket from the handsome sheriff of Adams Grove is both a surprise and a reprieve.
Although I did recognise the perpetrator early in the story, it was not until the end that Nancy Naigle reveals the betrayal behind the tragedy and how it was executed. The pace is steady and tension rises at just the right time. The heartbreak and rising tension, as time passes and her son appears to be lost forever is brilliantly depicted. The story follows the months after the accident, the search, the new friends the young mother - Kasey Phillips - makes along the way, the surprise which her husband and son planned and which awaits her in Adams Grove. However, all is not what it seems the child's body is not found.
Her small town settings work well with the story of a young professional photographer who loses her husband and three year old son in an accident. Nancy's style is laid back and easy - I read it in one night. Nancy Naigle's Out of Focus, in spite of its emotive subject matter is a charming story, with genuinely nice characters - except for the perpetrators of the crime! Naigle continue the writing of lives in Adams Grove! This book is literature and I won't be surprised if it wins accolades along the way. Women will adore the story but it is really a man's story as well. That is all I'm going to say, because, this Romantic Suspense Mystery is so well drawn that I do not want to stop you from experiencing it yourself. What follows is a mother's search for her missing child while dealing with the crime (yes, a mystery crime,) murder of her beloved husband. A policeman enters and the world stops and flips upside-down. Kasey, armed with a job offer, drives home to see her 'boys.' This romance is so strong that you could feel it. I enjoy romances when they have depth and credibility. She is a happily married, mother of one son who has the capability of making her 'subjects' come alive and with color.
Actually, the book begins with a charming professional photographer, Kasey Phillips on a photo shoot. A small town introduced to use in "Sweet Tea and Secrets" last year. I am going to try and tell you, without giving too much away, the premise of the story. I actually had to put the novel down and get a drink in order to compose myself and continue the story. I found myself gasping for breath as I suddenly 'realized' I had tears pouring down my face and this was page eleven. Naigle is able to literally touch my emotions with her dialog, storytelling, and the ability to make me 'fade' out of my home and 'fade' into the story itself.
