Completely predictable, oddly crude, filled with drivel about angels that seems to have no real purpose and a load of completely unlikeable characters. If I hadn't paid money for it, I wouldn't have finished. A total waste of time. ( ) Every time I read Bohjalian it is like discovering a new author. No two books are alike and, with the exception of one, I have not been disappointed. From the first line, I found myself immersed in this story and a desire to see beneath the surface of Pastor Stephen Drew and to unravel this mystery. Read this book after I got it at the library book club. They were talking about Hunger Games, loved it, and then they passed around this book for the next meeting. It was okay, I read "Midwives" by the same author. This one was about an abusive marriage, which is always depressing. The woman gets killed and then they try to solve what actually happened. I thought the most interesting character was the pastor that the woman was having an affair with. I found his break of faith really well thought out and very human. I probably won't attend the book club to chat this one up... Small town Vermont is rocked by the tragic murder of a wife at the hands of her abusive husband, and his suicide after murdering her. There is a history of abuse. The minister of the local church is very aware of the circumstances. Yet, the author does not choose to have this character report or intervene. Slow to read, at times I wanted to skip ahead. The minister flees his congregation, and finds a relationship with a woman who writes books about angels. This seems to be thrown into the story without a common thread. Disappointing because I've read other books written by the author. This was a dud.
Fans of Bohjalian's 11 other novels (including Midwives) know to expect the unexpected and, thanks to his creativity and cunning, readers usually get walloped by one heck of a plot twist by book's end. In Secrets of Eden, the old saw that none of us knows what really goes on in a house when the shades are drawn rings chillingly true. Menzioni
